Clearstream, the post-trade business of Deutsche Börse Group, has announced a next-generation digital securities infrastructure designed to integrate traditional and tokenised asset markets. The hybrid platform will enable market participants to combine traditional securities, digital assets, and various cash forms within a single portfolio. Operating across Europe and connecting 60 global markets, the initiative aims to support the EU’s Savings & Investments Union by streamlining international investment flows.
Launching in phases throughout 2026 and 2027, the infrastructure remains subject to regulatory approval. Once live, it will span the full securities lifecycle—including issuance, settlement, custody, and financing—for all assets regulated under the EU’s MiFID and MiCA frameworks. The platform will grant institutional access to blockchain technology, stablecoins, and security tokens regardless of the underlying technology or asset type.
Developed alongside market partners, the platform builds on Clearstream’s existing financial infrastructure, which holds EUR 22 trillion in assets under custody. The collaboration focuses on practical market applications, such as large-scale asset tokenisation, direct blockchain settlement, and the reuse of digital assets as collateral across multiple transactions.
