Securitize, a leading digital asset securities firm, has launched a revolutionary token platform on the Avalanche blockchain after securing full regulatory approval from the European Union under the DLT Pilot Regime. This approval, announced in late 2025, allows Securitize to operate its security token platform across all 27 EU member states, making it the only company licensed to run regulated digital securities infrastructure in both the US and EU simultaneously.
The platform, known as the European Trading and Settlement System (TSS), combines trading and settlement processes on a single digital platform, aiming to enhance speed, efficiency, and transparency in securities transactions. Avalanche was selected for its high throughput, low latency, and architecture tailored for regulated market infrastructures, with sub-second finality ensuring rapid and secure trade settlements. The first issuance is planned for 2026, and the platform will support various security tokens, including tokenized traditional financial instruments and real-world assets like real estate and private equity.
Carlos Domingo, CEO and Co-Founder of Securitize, emphasized the significance: "Tokenizing the world means removing the boundaries that divide global capital markets. Being the only company licensed to operate regulated digital securities infrastructure in the US and EU offers the opportunity to directly connect these two major financial markets." This development addresses regulatory uncertainty and provides a compliant framework, enabling institutional investors to participate with confidence in cross-border digital securities trading.
