Securitize, which describes itself as the leading platform for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), announced it is now licensed to run regulated digital-securities infrastructure across both the U.S. and the European Union, according to the firm’s release shared with Bitcoin.com News.

The company stated that the approval makes Securitize the only company authorized to operate in both jurisdictions, giving issuers and investors a unified route into two of the world’s largest capital markets. As part of its newly granted authorization, Securitize will deploy its European TSS on Avalanche, using the network’s sub-second finality and purpose-built chain architecture to support regulated trading and settlement.

The firm said the TSS effectively merges the functions of a Multilateral Trading Facility and a Central Securities Depository, consolidating market infrastructure that is typically spread across multiple institutions. Carlos Domingo, Securitize’s CEO and co-founder, said the dual-region approval positions the firm to connect issuers and investors more efficiently, noting that global markets have long been carved up by regulatory borders.

He added that the TSS authorization “completes the last major regulatory piece” needed to link the company’s U.S. and EU systems. Avalanche, meanwhile, is pitching its technical capabilities as a reliable backbone for institutions. Ava Labs President John Wu said the blockchain was designed for predictable performance, calling the partnership a milestone that demonstrates how regulated tokenized markets can gain new efficiencies.

The team told our newsdesk that the European rollout marks the first pan-regional TSS built on Avalanche. The authorization was developed with input from key European regulators, including the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the Bank of Spain, and the European Central Bank.

Securitize’s investment-firm permissions, originally granted in Spain in December 2024, have now been passported across major EU jurisdictions such as Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Those licenses cover reception and transmission of orders, execution, custody services, transfer-agent duties, and the operation of market-infrastructure systems.

Spain’s ERIR authorization also permits Securitize to fully manage tokenized assets from issuance through lifecycle events, a role that folds traditional transfer-agent responsibilities into the digital-asset context.

The company explained that it expects its first tokenized issuance under the EU TSS to launch on Avalanche in early 2026, marking the beginning of what Securitize views as a harmonized, cross-border regulated marketplace.
