PANews reported on November 27th that, according to The Block, Securitize received EU regulatory authorization for its Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) pilot program on Wednesday, allowing it to operate a regulated trading and settlement system. This makes it the first institution to have compliant tokenized infrastructure in both the US and the EU. The Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) has approved its operation of the system throughout the EU. As part of its system launch plan, Securitize will deploy its European trading and settlement platform based on the Avalanche blockchain, leveraging its near-real-time settlement capabilities and customizable institutional-grade architecture. The first tokenized security offering based on the new authorization is expected to take place in early 2026.
