21X, Europe's first fully regulated DLT Trading and Settlement System, announced technical availability of its regulated trading venue for tokenized securities on the Stellar network. This integration positions Stellar as the second public blockchain on 21X and enables institutional trading and settlement of tokenized assets in compliance with EU regulations.

21X, a Frankfurt-based financial institution, has launched its regulated trading and settlement system on the Stellar network, marking a significant milestone for institutional adoption of tokenized finance in Europe. The platform offers an on-chain central limit order book with deterministic matching and atomic delivery versus payment (DvP) in MiCAR-compliant stablecoins. Stellar becomes the second public blockchain integrated into 21X's infrastructure, following the company's September 2025 launch as the EU's first fully regulated DLT trading and settlement system. The Stellar network has demonstrated strong institutional adoption with RWA market cap exceeding $640 million and $5.4 billion in RWA 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 on the regulated venue.
