Regulated EU exchange, 21X, initiated by Chainlink, facilitates trading of tokenized securities on the blockchain
In a significant move towards the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology, 21X, the first on-chain exchange to be regulated by the EU, has announced its integration with Chainlink. This partnership aims to ensure that 21X adopts a standard machine-readable data format for tokenized securities, paving the way for a more efficient and secure trading environment.
Launched on September 8th, 2025, as part of the EU DLT Pilot Regime, 21X is based in Frankfurt and enables atomic trading and settlement of tokenized stocks, bonds, and funds. With this integration, asset managers can now access DeFi through Chainlink, opening up new opportunities for growth and innovation.
Max J. Heinzle, the CEO of 21X, has stated that this partnership will make 21X able to bring real-time and verifiable market data of tokenized securities safely and reliably on-chain. He further emphasised that this integration will provide regulators with real-time trades and market data auditing capabilities, enhancing transparency and accountability.
Chainlink, a leading provider of tamper-proof, automated data feeds, is shaping up to be the data backbone of institutional crypto. It offers direct connections with the source of truth in the market, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and reliability. Notably, Chainlink has recently reached an all-time high in Total Value Secured (TVS), securing $100B in DeFi.
Swift, Mastercard, Euroclear, and UBS are among the notable entities that are using Chainlink standards to prepare for a future where assets are tokenized. The integration will provide real-time verifiable trading information of tokenized securities on the Polygon blockchain, further bolstering 21X's position as a leader in the EU's blockchain-based exchange landscape.
Looking ahead, Chainlink is planning to add pre-trade data, additional asset classes, and sophisticated analytics to its offerings, further enhancing the functionality and utility of 21X. As 21X continues to innovate and grow, it is poised to play a crucial role in the evolution of the financial industry, bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralised finance.
