Securitize has obtained regulatory approval to operate as an Investment Firm and a Trading & Settlement System (TSS) in the European Union, utilizing the Avalanche blockchain.

Securitize has selected Avalanche as the underlying network for its European TSS – marking the first time a major regulated digital-securities venue in Europe will launch on Avalanche’s high-performance architecture.

The dual approvals mean Securitize can now offer issuers and investors seamless, cross-border access to tokenized funds and securities between the two largest capital markets on the planet, effectively bridging Wall Street and the EU’s financial centers with on-chain efficiency.

“Tokenizing the world means removing the borders that have historically fragmented global capital markets,” said Carlos Domingo, CEO and Co-Founder of Securitize. “With today’s authorization, we are the only firm in the world licensed to operate regulated digital-securities infrastructure on both sides of the Atlantic. This completes the last major regulatory piece needed to connect U.S. and European tokenized markets end-to-end.”

With more than $4 billion in assets under management and partnerships with blue-chip managers such as BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck, Securitize has established itself as the go-to platform for bringing traditional funds on-chain. In the U.S., it already operates as an SEC-registered broker-dealer, digital transfer agent, fund administrator, and Alternative Trading System (ATS).
