Digital Investment Securities, LLC (DIS) is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with 21X, a fully regulated European digital exchange, to expand the reach of institutional-grade tokenized securities infrastructure and support the next wave of capital markets innovation.
As part of this collaboration, DIS will serve as a strategic advisor to 21X, supporting corporate development initiatives and product growth. The firms are working together to scale access to tokenized investment vehicles across money markets, UCITS, real-world assets (RWA), and alternative funds — providing investment managers and allocators with a fully compliant, digital-first platform.
21X, the first authorized DLT Trading and Settlement Systems (DLT TSS) under the EU DLT Pilot Regime, offers a blockchain-native trading environment purpose-built for regulated digital securities. By integrating with 21X’s infrastructure, DIS aims to provide its network of institutional partners with access to streamlined issuance, automated compliance, and real-time settlement for tokenized strategies.
“Together, we’re building the infrastructure that institutional investors have been waiting for — compliant, automated, and built for scale,” said John Linnehan, Head of Strategic Relationships at Digital Investment Securities.
“Partnering with the team at 21X enables us to offer a truly integrated platform for tokenized securities that bridges traditional asset management with the efficiency of blockchain technology. Together, we’re not just digitizing products, we’re transforming how investment strategies are built, distributed, and traded.”
This partnership reflects DIS’s commitment to an end-to-end solution, leading to digital disruption in the asset management industry. By aligning with forward-thinking infrastructure providers, DIS offers an operating model driven by distributed ledger technology (DLT), and helping institutions unlock new efficiencies across investment workflows.
The partnership will also focus on introducing key institutional relationships to the 21X platform, positioning it as a foundational solution for asset managers launching tokenized investment products.
“As 21X leads the development of regulated market infrastructure for tokenized assets, we are excited to partner with DIS to accelerate the adoption of digital securities across institutional and investment markets,” said Max Heinzle, Founder and CEO of 21X. “Backed by decades of experience working with global asset managers and allocators DIS has successfully built and scaled global investment platforms. Their strategic insight, deep industry relationships, and proven ability to execute make them an ideal partner to drive the next phase of growth in the digital securities business.”
Linnehan added, “as capital markets evolve, DIS and 21X are uniquely positioned to lead the digital future of finance and fund management — helping investment managers and financial institutions modernize operations, reduce cost, and unlock new sources of capital through blockchain-powered markets.”
