Highlights:

Boerse Stuttgart Group, the sixth-largest exchange group in Europe, has launched Seturion, a settlement platform.

Seturion, a blockchain-based settlement platform, is adaptable and can interact with several kinds of blockchains, including public and private ones. It allows settlement in central bank money or digital currencies. According to the group, the platform delivers faster processing and lower transaction costs across different asset classes. The company highlighted that participants may reduce settlement costs by as much as 90%.

Trading venues under the Boerse Stuttgart umbrella will be the first to adopt the platform. However, the company expects broader usage among financial institutions across the region. The open architecture means that it is easy for banks, brokers, and tokenization platforms to connect to the system without the need to build new infrastructure. In practice, this means market participants can link directly to exchanges already operating with Seturion.

Adoption for Tokenized Asset Settlement in Europe

The 2024 trials of Seturion were conducted by European banks, and the platform is currently operating at BX Digital, a licensed trading facility in Switzerland. The company said new institutions will join once they secure supervisory approval. Market participants across Europe are preparing to integrate the system into existing operations.

“With Seturion, market participants across Europe can tap into new business opportunities around tokenized assets,” said Seturion CEO Dr. Lidia Kurt. She emphasized that users can gain significant cost advantages when adopting the system.

The launch comes as European policymakers intensify their focus on tokenization. Brussels has made clear that tokenization will move from pilot projects to a central policy area. The European Commission’s Savings and Investment Union initiative is set to unveil its recommendations later this year. These proposals would bring equities, bonds, and derivatives onto blockchain infrastructure.

At the same time, the Distributed Ledger Technology Pilot Regime issued by the European Union in 2023 continues to be a catalyst for innovation in the space. The framework has enabled financial institutions to experiment with market solutions based on the technology of blockchain. Seturion makes its debut to the market as banks, investment managers, and fintech companies accelerate initiatives surrounding tokenized financial instruments.

The momentum is reflected in several programs. The Deutsche Bank-backed Swiss start-up Taurus has launched a custody and issuance system for tokenized equity and debt products. Robinhood made a tokenization-oriented L2 on Arbitrum for Europeans. Backed Finance has also extended its xStocks platform to Ethereum with tokenized versions of major US equities. These projects show that tokenization is moving from trial to wider adoption.

Hello, Ethereum.

xStocks are coming to Ethereum Mainnet, one of the world’s largest and most reputable blockchains with over $500b in assets secured, millions of users and thousands of apps.

Global Push for Tokenization Expands Beyond Europe

Seturion is part of a broader international trend toward blockchain-based markets. Securitize announced its partnership with BlackRock to launch BUIDL, a US tokenized money market fund. The product was later extended to Solana, and dividends were distributed to investors on a monthly basis. SkyBridge Capital also revealed intentions to tokenize $300 million of assets on Avalanche. With that move, the value of real-world assets on the network almost doubled.
