EU authorization lets Securitize run a pan-EU TSS, merging trading and settlement for tokenized assets.
Avalanche was chosen for its fast, low-latency design suited to regulated digital-securities markets.
The unified framework links U.S. and EU markets, with first on-chain issuance expected in early 2026.
Securitize announced on November 27, 2025, that it secured full authorization to operate an Investment Firm and a Trading and Settlement System across the European Union. The approvals were issued in Spain and extended to most EU states.
The firm chose Avalanche to host the new infrastructure due to its speed and architecture. The event positioned the company to expand regulated digital-securities services across the U.S. and EU.
EU Authorization and Cross-Border Digital Infrastructure
The authorization, granted under the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime, allows Securitize to operate a pan-European Trading and Settlement System. The setup merges trading and settlement within one digital venue, creating a single access point for tokenized real-world assets.
The system also covers all 27 Member States. This operational base builds on regulatory input from the CNMV, ESMA, the Bank of Spain, and the European Central Bank. Securitize Europe Brokerage & Markets, SV SA, received its Investment Firm license in December 2024.
That license includes order execution, custody, transfer-agent duties, and market-infrastructure services. Notably, the firm also secured ERIR authorization in Spain, which enables full management of tokenized assets. The license has been passported to Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
Avalanche Selected for Performance
Securitize selected Avalanche as the foundation of its EU TSS due to its low-latency design. According to Ava Labs President John Wu, Avalanche offers the predictability needed for tokenized market operations.
The network supports sub-second finality and purpose-built chains, features that suit regulated financial environments. The platform will act as a regulated bridge between U.S. and EU digital-securities markets.
The first issuance under the TSS is expected in early 2026, creating the starting point for cross-regional activity. This selection also followed comments from Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo, who noted that the infrastructure connects two major capital markets through unified licensing.
Unified Operating Framework
The TSS authorization combines the roles of a Multilateral Trading Facility and a Central Securities Depository. This combined structure establishes an integrated model for on-chain trading and settlement. The configuration also supports lifecycle management for tokenized assets, linking U.S. and EU operations through one regulated framework.
