On May 21, 2026, the tokenized securities settlement platform Seturion, operated by Boerse Stuttgart Group, consolidated a structural agreement with Societe Generale, its crypto-asset subsidiary SG-Forge, and the digital broker flatexDEGIRO. The central axis of the alliance is the operational construction of a securities settlement system based on distributed ledger technology that will cover various jurisdictions within the European capital market.
The architecture of this digital infrastructure system assigns specific roles to each participating financial entity. Societe Generale will assume the direct function of corporate issuer, introducing tokenized structured securities directly into the Seturion platform. The financial instruments designated for this operational phase include turbo warrants and investment certificates, which will leave traditional settlement channels to be processed using blockchain technology.
The responsibility for settling the transactions will fall exclusively to SG-Forge, an entity that maintains formal authorization to operate under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation issued by supervisory authorities in France. To execute these financial movements, the firm will use the digital assets from its own treasury, specifically the CoinVertible stablecoins pegged to the euro and the US dollar, commercially denominated as EURCV and USDCV. The distribution of these functions was ratified in a European settlement agreement details published during the day.
Retail market access will be fully managed by flatexDEGIRO. This online brokerage platform will enable the connection of its investment order flow to the new ecosystem. The firm’s infrastructure allows access to 3.5 million retail customers operating geographically distributed across 16 European countries.
The primary distribution network will be expanded through the incorporation of the trading venues that Nasdaq operates in Europe. These market infrastructures will connect their exchange systems with Seturion to enable secondary trading of the tokenized securities. This shared infrastructure initiative continues a trading venues integration plan originally agreed upon in March 2026, whose documented objective is to reduce technical fragmentation and lower settlement costs.
Operationally, Seturion was deployed to the market in September 2025. Boerse Stuttgart Group designed this open infrastructure to replace national settlement systems through a unified technological environment. The platform possesses the technical capacity to process operations using central bank money and onchain cash, supporting interactions on both public and private blockchain networks.
Currently, Seturion processes transactions in a live environment through BX Digital. This entity functions as a trading facility specialized in distributed ledger technology and maintains a regulated operational status under the jurisdiction of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
In parallel, the platform is advancing its regulatory expansion process within the European Union. Seturion submitted a formal license application to the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). The file was submitted under the regulations of the European DLT Pilot Regime, a regulatory framework whose final approval remains pending resolution by the German supervisor.
The development of this platform coincides with the parallel expansion of other digital financial infrastructure projects on the continent. The European banking consortium Qivalis recorded significant operational growth by incorporating 25 banking entities from 15 countries into its governance structure. The new institutional accessions include corporations such as ABN AMRO, Rabobank, Nordea, and Intesa Sanpaolo.
With these additions, the total network of Qivalis reaches 37 member institutions. The operating group, which maintains its headquarters in Amsterdam, is developing a stablecoin pegged to the euro and structured to strictly comply with the guidelines of the MiCA regulation.
The banking consortium’s objective is to generate a regulated settlement alternative that reduces the systemic exposure of the European market to stablecoins denominated in US dollars. The corporation’s technical schedule projects the availability of the commercial asset with a launch scheduled for 2026, specifically programmed for the second half of the year.
