21X has launched its secondary market, enabling the trading of tokenized assets through smart contract-based matching and settlement. The platform operates under the oversight of BaFin, the Bundesbank, and ESMA.
The exchange said it is the first of its kind to use smart contracts for both order matching and settlement. This comes after the launch of its primary market in May, which introduced the first tokenized note.
Investors Trade Stablecoins, Fiat on 21X
At launch, 21X received backing from Chainlink, Circle, Polygon, and SBI Digital Markets. Other supporters include ABN Amro, Apex Group, Future Processing, Stellar, and Tradevest.
The new platform allows investors to trade with stablecoins, digital cash, and fiat currency. Transactions are settled within two seconds. In comparison, traditional systems may take days or weeks. 21X had earlier taken part in European Central Bank trials on settlement.
"21X compresses capital market workflows and can reduce participant costs by more than 50 percent, while enabling wallet- based access - whether in self-custody or via a third party," Max J. Heinzle, Founder and CEO of 21X, stated.
