21X, Europe's first regulated DLT trading and settlement system, launched Stellar network integration, enabling institutional trading and settlement of tokenized securities on a regulated European venue for the first time.
21X announced full technical integration of the Stellar network, becoming the second public blockchain on its regulated trading platform under the EU DLT Pilot Regime. The integration enables financial institutions to list, trade, and settle tokenized securities on a regulated European venue using Stellar's network. 21X offers an on-chain central limit order book with deterministic matching and atomic delivery versus payment in MiCAR-compliant stablecoins. Stellar has demonstrated strong institutional adoption with RWA market cap exceeding $640 million and $5.4 billion in cross-border payments volume in Q3 2025. First Stellar-based listings on 21X are expected in spring 2026, with issuers and asset managers now able to prepare for listing.
