EU’s Regulated Blockchain Securities Market Welcomes First Bank Participant in 2026
The European Union’s regulated blockchain securities market has probably taken a major step forward by having Swiss crypto bank Amina as its first banking participant.
Amina has joined the EU, regulated platform 21X as a listing sponsor which is a major milestone in traditional financial institutions merging with blockchain, based markets for tokenized securities.
Traditional Banks Warm Up to Blockchain
This reflects that more brick and mortar banks are experimenting with blockchain and digital tokens. So far, progress is slow, but things might change. Moreover, the EU launched a DLT pilot in 2023, which allowed companies to test blockchain trading and settlements within a secure environment.
Still, some worry the rules dont go far enough. That might stop European onchain markets from growing fast enough. Aminas role in 21X could speed things up and fix how different systems connect. It seems like the market wants better tools and rules.

Amina, 21X, and Tokeny Partners
Amina collaborates with 21X and tokeny to assist big enterprises in utilizing digital assets. They jointly enable companies to issue tokenized securities on 21X and use Tokenys’ tools for the entire lifecycle of these tokens as well as the management of these assets.
Growing Tokenized Real World Assets
This new measure is raised as banks and other financial institutions invest more and more in blockchain infrastructure for tokenized assets.
The global value of tokenized real world assets has climbed to $26.5 billion, and major players like BNY, Nasdaq, and S&P Global are supporting the Canton Network’s expansion.
With tokenization moving beyond pilot schemes to the establishment of financial infrastructure, Amina’s collaboration with 21X and Tokeny will set the stage for growth in the EU’s regulated blockchain securities market.
