21X is building regulated market infrastructure for the tokenized era. As the first EU-authorized DLT trading and settlement system, we bring issuance, listing, multilateral trading and atomic settlement into one blockchain-enabled environment for regulated financial instruments.
Tokenization is only the starting point. Its full value is realized when digital securities can be admitted, traded, settled and serviced within a trusted market structure. 21X connects these stages in a regulated, on-chain infrastructure designed for institutional participation.
Imagine a marketplace where traditional intermediaries are no longer the norm. Our concept was for a streamlined and transparent system where investors can directly interact with each other, fostering faster execution and reduced costs. This concept is now a reality. Our innovative platform has been built on a foundation of security, adhering to the stringent regulations of the EU DLT Regime. By operating under this framework, we offer a trusted environment for institutional investors to confidently participate in the world of trading and settlement of digital assets.
However, 21X is more than just a trading platform. We are a catalyst for a new era in capital markets – one that embraces innovation while prioritizing security and regulatory compliance.

We believe in distributed ledger technology
We foster co-opetition and open ecosystems
We foster financial inclusion and open market access
We are powering the future of capital markets
