Article Summaries:
- Deutsche Börse’s head of digital assets, Carlo Kölzer, said tokenization is a natural evolution of market infrastructure, not a threat to traditional markets. He highlighted 360T’s recent integration of Kraken‑backed xStocks, which lets clients trade tokenised shares of Nvidia, Google and Circle, and outlined the group’s vision of a hybrid market that blends digital and conventional assets. Kölzer stressed that trusted institutions will remain essential for risk management and market integrity, and that tokenisation enhances capital‑market flexibility within existing regulatory frameworks such as MiFID. While acknowledging regulatory gaps and concerns over “paper Bitcoin,” he remains bullish on Europe’s tokenisation growth.
