The global capital markets are in a period of profound transformation, moving beyond traditional structures into a new era of digital finance. While the promise of on-chain capital markets has been a topic of discussion for years, the path to a robust and liquid secondary market has remained a significant challenge. Many financial institutions have been hesitant to fully embrace this shift due to fragmented systems, complex settlement processes, and a lack of a unified, compliant infrastructure leaving many participants on the sidelines.

As announced, 360X is taking a decisive step toward solving this problem with the successful facilitation of the largest secondary trade of a digital bond involving institutional parties to date, a transaction that included DekaBank and Union Investment. This milestone is not just an isolated event; it demonstrates that a liquid, on-chain secondary market is now a reality. This transaction was made possible by 360X’s comprehensive infrastructure, which provides the critical “plumbing” needed to connect disparate systems and enable seamless, compliant trading.

By providing a single point of entry to a range of marketplaces, including the 360X OTC marketplace for bespoke bilateral trading, the 360X MTF for multilateral trading, and the 360X DLT-MTF operating under the EU DLT Pilot Regime, 360X is building the foundation for a truly integrated digital asset ecosystem. This infrastructure is designed to break down the silos that have traditionally separated electronic trading from digital trading, ensuring that both established and new market participants can operate within a single, liquid environment.

“The real challenge in the evolution of capital markets isn’t just creating a new technology; it’s building an entire ecosystem that works for everyone, from legacy players to new entrants,” said Carlo Kölzer, CEO of 360X AG. “We’re focused on solving the fundamental problems—the lack of seamless connectivity, the complexity of settlement, and the need for a compliant, unified trading venue. Our infrastructure isn’t just about trading; it’s about providing the critical plumbing that ensures all participants can connect and transact in a liquid environment. We are building the definitive ecosystem for digital assets and we are inviting the entire industry to join us in this pivotal journey.”

To continue our mission of building a digital ecosystem, we are supported by strong partners such as Deutsche Börse Group, Commerzbank, and Amauris Invest. With the recent operative go-live of the 360X MTF segments, Amauris Invest as an agile and leading digital-native firm in asset management, supports 360X in their scale-up as a capital partner with invaluable insights into the distribution capabilities for our digital ecosystem. This collaboration ensures that 360X’s solutions are directly aligned with the requirements of the market, paving the way for broader adoption and enhanced liquidity.
