Frankfurt-based 21X, which is building a blockchain-based exchange to list and trade tokenized securities, won approval from German regulator BaFin in December.
Tokenization - the representation of real-world assets such as stocks or bonds as tokens on a blockchain - has become an area of interest among traditional financial (TradFi) firms in recent years.
Blockchain-native companies such as 21X securing regulatory approval in major financial centers means TradFi companies can enter partnerships with them to advance their tokenization plans with greater confidence.
