21X got the first EU DLT-TSS license in history.
Know what they did next? Chose @Dusk as their blockchain infrastructure.
Let me explain why this is absolutely insane.
The DLT-TSS license is basically regulatory permission to issue and settle tokenized securities in Europe. Stocks. Bonds. Funds. Real financial instruments worth billions. Not jpegs. Not governance tokens. Actual regulated securities.
Getting this license means you proved to European regulators that your technology meets custody standards, settlement requirements, and investor protection laws. This isn't a rubber stamp. Firms spend YEARS trying to get this.
21X got it. First in Europe. Then immediately integrated DuskEVM.
Why? Because $DUSK built infrastructure specifically for this exact use case. Smart contracts that can charge fees and pay their own gas (Economic Protocol). Privacy through zero-knowledge proofs with selective disclosure for regulators. Modular architecture where securities operate differently than payments.
Emanuele Francioni, Dusk CEO, said it: "21X has been a pioneer in regulated digital securities, and their early licensing success is a milestone for the entire industry."
Translation: The first domino just fell. 21X proved you can get licensed. They proved the technology works. They proved regulators will approve it.
Now every financial institution in Europe watching from the sidelines knows: tokenized securities aren't coming. They're here. The infrastructure is live. The regulatory path exists.
And the firm with the first license chose Dusk as the foundation.
When the floodgates open and trillions move on-chain, people will ask: "Which blockchain handles regulated securities in Europe?"
21X already answered that question.
