Boerse Stuttgart Partners with SocGen and flatexDEGIRO to Revolutionize EU Securities Settlement via Blockchain

In a decisive move aimed at redefining the landscape of European financial markets, Boerse Stuttgart’s Seturion has joined forces with Societe Generale and flatexDEGIRO to launch a revolutionary blockchain-based securities settlement system. This pioneering initiative is set to streamline operations and enhance efficiency in the European capital market.

According to an announcement on Thursday, Societe Generale will be the issuer of tokenized structured securities, including turbo warrants and investment certificates, utilizing Seturion’s innovative platform. The Paris-based banking giant's crypto subsidiary, SG-Forge, will facilitate transaction settlements through its proprietary euro and dollar stablecoins, EURCV and USDCV, specifically designed for this purpose.

FlatexDEGIRO, a major online broker serving approximately 3.5 million retail customers across 16 countries, will provide a vital distribution channel, connecting its extensive investor flow to the new blockchain infrastructure.

Seturion’s ambition extends to achieving regulatory approval; a license application has been submitted to Germany’s BaFin under the European Union’s DLT Pilot Regime, although approval remains outstanding. A representative from Boerse Stuttgart confirmed that they are diligently awaiting the regulatory nod to proceed.

In addition to these partnerships, Nasdaq’s European trading venues have also announced their intent to integrate with Seturion, thereby facilitating the trading of tokenized securities settled through this cutting-edge platform. This collaboration marks a significant step toward cost reduction and the elimination of fragmentation in securities settlement across Europe. Matthias Voelkel, CEO of Boerse Stuttgart Group, stated, “With Seturion, we are building the European settlement platform for the unified European capital market.”

Launched in September 2025, Seturion aims to replace the region’s disparate national settlement systems with a cohesive, open infrastructure. It supports both public and private blockchains, allowing settlements with central bank money or on-chain cash, and has already gone live at BX Digital, Switzerland’s FINMA-regulated DLT trading facility.

The drive towards a streamlined blockchain infrastructure reflects a broader industry trend, as European financial institutions seek to keep pace with global regulatory frameworks. Recently, the Qivalis consortium, focused on developing a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin, has seen its membership swell to 37 institutions, signaling a growing commitment to establishing a competitive European stablecoin market.

As this initiative unfolds, Boerse Stuttgart, Societe Generale, and flatexDEGIRO are at the forefront of a transformative wave in securities trading and settlement, reshaping how financial transactions are approached in the digital age.
