Key Highlights:
- ABN AMRO has successfully executed an on-chain trade of tokenized assets with stablecoins in collaboration with 21X, a Germany-regulated entity.
- The two parties completed a proof of concept for issuing a token on the Polygon Amoy Testnet, establishing a trade pair featuring an e-money token.
On-Chain Order Book Technology
The firms reported:
“The deployment of 21X’s on-chain order book smart contract enabled trading between tokenized cash and the tokenized asset in one single transaction.”
21X, headquartered in Frankfurt, is currently developing a blockchain-based exchange for trading tokenized securities and received approval from the German regulator BaFin in December last year.
Tokenization—converting real assets like stocks and bonds into tokens on a blockchain—has gained traction among traditional financial institutions recently. Regulatory support for blockchain-native firms like 21X empowers TradFi enterprises to explore partnerships and develop their tokenization strategies more confidently.
