Nasdaq has announced a partnership with Boerse Stuttgart Group to connect its European trading venues to the Seturion platform, a tokenized settlement venue. This collaboration aims to streamline the settlement of tokenized securities using distributed ledger technology, initially focusing on structured products. The initiative seeks to address fragmentation in European capital markets by reducing settlement times and operational complexity. Seturion supports various asset classes across both public and private distributed ledger networks, allowing transactions to be settled with central bank money or on-chain cash. The platform is designed to be open to a wider network of financial institutions across Europe. The partnership aligns with the European Central Bank's call for integrating Europe's fragmented capital markets and operates within existing regulatory frameworks like MiFID II and the DLT Pilot Regime.
