Nasdaq and Seturion have formed a strategic partnership to connect Nasdaq’s European trading venues to Seturion to facilitate trading of tokenised securities that will be settled through the platform.
With an initial focus on structured products, the companies will work to expand the network of financial institutions connecting to Seturion, creating an ecosystem of issuers, brokers, and other industry partners across Europe.
Boerse Stuttgart Group recently launched Seturion as a settlement platform open to all market participants and is set to connect its own trading venues to the platform.
The firms say the collaboration is a step towards transforming Europe’s fragmented settlement landscape and improving efficiency in European capital markets through distributed ledger technology (DLT).
Roland Chai, president of European Market Services and head of digital assets at Nasdaq, notes: “European capital markets face fragmentation and efficiency challenges that limit the region’s competitive potential.
"Tokenisation presents a transformative opportunity to address inefficiencies in settlement and securities processing workflows, while preserving the trust, stability, and regulatory rigor that underpin well-functioning markets.
“This partnership builds on our broader vision for the future of market infrastructure, encompassing continuous operation across trading, clearing, settlement, risk management, and collateral.”
Dr Mathias Voelkel, CEO of Boerse Stuttgart Group, adds: “With Seturion, we are building the pan-European settlement platform for tokenised assets. As an open industry solution, Seturion contributes to overcome current national settlement infrastructure silos and to turn a unified European capital market into reality.
"We are delighted to welcome Nasdaq – an absolute leader in its field — as Seturion’s first partner and look forward to scaling Seturion across Europe.”
