Institutional investors want what distributed ledgers deliver, such as T+0 settlement and programmability, without giving up custody, investor protection or supervised venues. Axiology CEO Marius Jurgilas explains why tokenisation is advancing in a regulated Web2.5 middle ground.

What will it take for tokenised bonds and tokenised assets in general to scale in Europe? Axiology spoke to Digital Assets Edge about the DLT Pilot Regime, interoperability, tokenised MMFs and secondary market liquidity.

A corporate bond issuance doesn't have to replace equity or bank debt — it can complete the financing structure. See how Novus Asset Management combined all three to fund its Bukčiai residential development in Vilnius, with Axiology handling registration and safekeeping of the securities.

Europe's move to T+1 settlement is progress, but it's not enough. Axiology CEO Marius Jurgilas argues the real fix is atomic settlement, already live under the EU's DLT Pilot Regime, and explains why fragmented post-trade infrastructure remains Europe's biggest blocker.

Liquid cash and yield have long pulled in opposite directions for EMIs and payment providers. T+0 settlement and tokenised money market funds have removed that trade-off, leaving little reason to keep treasury reserves parked in low-yield accounts.

Electronic money institutions sit on billions in safeguarded client funds that earn nothing — not because the regulation prevents it, but because standard settlement infrastructure wasn't built for EMI safeguarding windows. The yield is there. The barrier is timing.

Europe has a single rulebook for its capital markets. It has not yet built a single market. The Savings and Investments Union will be judged at the long tail. SMEs and mid-caps, where crowdfunding platforms are quietly turning loans into transferable bonds, and where the next move depends on what the European Commission does with its DLT Pilot Regime review. Making the regime permanent and removing the caps is what gives the l

Managing your cap table shouldn't slow you down. Here's how Axiology helps startups handle shareholder registry management without inefficient processes and queues at the notary. If you're a startup founder, you already know the feeling: you're closing a round, onboarding a new investor, or restructuring equity and suddenly, you're buried in notary appointments, documentation, and administrative back-and-forth that has nothing to do with building your company. Shareholder reg

Nasdaq's reported plan to distribute tokenised US equities through Kraken has been framed as a crypto story. It isn't. The real shift is in post-trade infrastructure, where tokenisation could collapse clearing and settlement into a single synchronised process, and in the strategic choice facing Europe: build domestic tokenised infrastructure under the DLT Pilot Regime, or become a distribution market for systems built elsewhere.

This week, the European Central Bank is hosting a public focus session on wholesale central bank money (wCBDC) settlement for DLT-based transactions. The session provides a consolidated update on its Pontes (short-term track) and Appia (long-term track) initiatives. Pontes connects regulated market DLT platforms with TARGET Services, allowing settlement either via cash tokens issued on the Eurosystem DLT or directly in T2, with finality anchored in central bank money. A pilot

For many shareholders, directors and legal advisers, notarising equity deals has long been seen as a standard step. However, in certain EU jurisdictions, legislation provides an alternative and more efficient way to register share transfers without involving a notary. This modern approach not only reduces time and administrative costs but also upgrades the entire share management process. It becomes available when a company outsources its share register management to a licens
