Blockchain technology company Securitize has received approval from the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) to operate as an Investment Firm and a broker-dealer. The approval allows Securitize to tokenize, manage, and facilitate the lifecycle of cryptocurrencies in Europe. The company has also registered Securitize Europe Brokerage and Markets, S.A. Specifically, Securitize hopes to provide services such as tokenization of financial instruments and operate a distributed ledger technology (DLT) trading and settlement system. The approval is seen as a milestone in integrating blockchain technology into traditional financial systems in Spain. Securitize is the first platform to issue digital asset securities in both the US and Europe. The company's CEO hopes the approval will create new opportunities for issuers to raise capital and enable investors to access innovative blockchain-powered investment opportunities on a regulatory-compliant platform.
