21X, Europe's first fully regulated DLT trading and settlement system, has launched on the Stellar network as its second blockchain, enabling institutional trading of tokenized securities on a regulated secondary market in the EU.
21X, a Frankfurt-based financial institution with an EU DLT Regime license, announced the launch of its platform on the Stellar network at Fireblocks SPARK'25 in Barcelona. This marks the official expansion of 21X's multichain strategy, following its primary market launch on September 8, 2025. The integration enables financial institutions to list and trade tokenized securities (stocks, bonds, funds) on Stellar through a custom central limit order book (CLOB) with deterministic matching and atomic settlement in compliant stablecoins. The platform will be available to investors by end of 2025 and is accessible via Fireblocks infrastructure, allowing institutions to connect through existing workflows. Stellar's mature ecosystem of issuers, tokenized assets, and regulated stablecoins provides the foundation for liquid, compliant tokenized markets.
