Seturion, the settlement platform for tokenised assets owned by Boerse Stuttgart Group, is partnering with Weltix and BlockInvest to build an integrated infrastructure for DLT based financial instruments in Italy.

The collaboration aims to address the fragmentation of the settlement layer in Europe’s digital capital markets.

It allows issuers to structure and issue tokenised financial instruments through the BlockInvest platform, while Weltix manages their circulation via its DLT register.

Weltix is authorised by Italy’s Consob regulator under the country’s fintech decree.

Seturion will handle the settlement of these transactions, offering the flexibility to settle in central bank money or on-chain cash.

The infrastructure also makes the instruments eligible for trading across multilateral trading facilities and over-the-counter environments, including direct access to Boerse Stuttgart Group venues.

“We offer Italian issuers and investors the entire value chain in one regulated architecture, from issuance to settlement,”

said Sven Wilke, Deputy CEO and CGO, Seturion.

As European banks and issuers increasingly look to tokenise assets under new regulatory frameworks, they are doing so at a growing pace.

However, the lack of an integrated settlement layer remains a bottleneck for institutional scaling.

“By combining BlockInvest’s orchestration platform with a robust, regulated settlement layer, we are building a seamless, end-to-end corridor for banks and corporates to move assets and capital fluidly across European borders,”

said Lorenzo Rigatti, Founder and CEO, BlockInvest.

The partnership is open to additional participants, including banks, trading venues, and other market players.
