AMINA Bank, a global FINMA-regulated crypto bank, has become a listing sponsor on 21X, the first regulated distributed ledger technology trading and settlement system (DLT TSS) in the European Union.
Building on AMINA’s existing collaboration with Tokney for on-chain asset issuance, the move reflects a focus on providing an end-to-end pathway connecting regulated traditional asset custody with on-chain issuance and liquid secondary markets.
“Institutional investors have rightly waited for tokenisation infrastructure that meets their governance and compliance standards,” said Myles Harrison, AMINA’s chief product officer.
“By partnering with 21X and building on our collaboration with Tokeny, we’ve assembled the complete infrastructure – from banking custody of underlying assets through to onchain issuance and exchange trading.”
The combined tokenisation infrastructure connects three layers: AMINA contributing institutional-grade custody, Tokeny providing the enterprise-grade tokenisation platform for smart contract deployment and 21X providing the regulated trading and settlement venue.
Max J. Heinzle, CEO at 21X added: “With our secondary market now fully operational, the addition of a world-class institutional partner like AMINA is a significant milestone.
“The Swiss bank’s heritage and pioneering work in digital assets provide the exact blend of rigour and innovation required to scale our platform.”
Together, the infrastructure aims to address two persistent barriers to institutional tokenisation: the lack of regulated secondary market liquidity and the absence of a seamless pathway from traditional asset ownership to on-chain distribution.
