Securitize is accelerating the global tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) by confirming its next major infrastructure platform will debut in Europe, built on the Avalanche blockchain.
Key Developments and EU Regulatory Milestone
Securitize has secured full regulatory clearance from the European Union (EU) to launch its new Trading and Settlement System (TSS) across all 27 member states. This is a historic achievement, as Securitize is now the only firm licensed to run regulated digital securities infrastructure across both the United States and the European Union.
The TSS platform was authorized under the European Commission’s DLT Pilot Regime.
The New Trading and Settlement System (TSS)
- Function: The TSS merges the traditionally separate functions of trading and settlement into a single, digital, on-chain workflow.
- Benefits: This unified model is expected to eliminate delays, drastically reduce costs, and significantly increase transparency in capital markets.
- Launch Timeline: Full operations for trading and settling tokenized assets natively on-chain are scheduled to begin in 2026.
Why Avalanche Was Selected
Securitize chose Avalanche as the foundation layer for its European TSS operations due to the network’s key performance features:
- High Throughput
- Millisecond-Level Transaction Finality
- Architecture designed for institutional-grade market activity
The Vision for Borderless Capital Markets
This collaboration lays the groundwork for cross-continental digital markets. With Securitize already licensed in the U.S., Avalanche is set to act as the technological connector between U.S. and EU capital markets once both systems are fully operational.
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo highlighted that linking the U.S. and Europe under a unified regulatory framework removes a major barrier to the institutional adoption of tokenized assets, bringing the industry closer to truly borderless capital markets.
