Bullish, an institutionally focused global digital asset platform, is excited to announce that it has received approval from the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) for tokenized securities. The core aim of this development is to provide regulated trading of issuer-sponsored tokenized securities, expanding secure and compliant access to blockchain-based assets.
On the other hand, the integration of Bullish and Gibraltar is to design a regulated infrastructure for digital assets. This is the landmark success for both partners, as Gibraltar’s leadership becomes the first jurisdiction globally to introduce a bespoke legal framework for platforms using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Bullish has revealed this news through its official social media X account.
GFSC Approval Strengthens Bullish’s Vision for Regulated Digital Asset Markets
The (GFSC) approval is basically a legal authority to declare traditional assets like bonds, stocks, and funds in the form of digital assets, and to show real ownership. This approval is not just paperwork; rather, it provides a fully sketched framework for digital assets that definitely help in trading across the world.
Tom Farley, CEO of Bullish Group, said, “Gibraltar has once again shown how thoughtful regulation can unlock innovation. This approval allows us to bring the benefits of tokenization to securities markets within a robust, supervised framework, and continues the work we began with the GFSC to set a global standard for regulated digital asset markets.”
Bullish Brings Traditional Capital Markets On-Chain with Tokenized Securities
Bullish’s tokenized securities aim to bring the efficiencies of blockchain infrastructure to traditional capital markets. This approval also ensures fast and instant settlement for a 24/7 trading scenario and facilitates moving assets without the multi-day delays of conventional post-trading processing.
The Hon Nigel Feetham KC MP, Minister for Financial Services, expressed his thoughts. He said, “Gibraltar is committed to being at the forefront of regulated innovation in financial services. We are pleased to deepen our relationship with Bullish and to support the responsible development of tokenised securities, reinforcing Gibraltar’s reputation as a quality financial centre.”
Due to this approval, Bullish is agreed to acquire Equiniti (EQ), a famous global transfer agent that serves as the system of record for almost 3000 issuer clients and helps more than 20 million shareholders. This approval has greater value and adds a systematic venue for secondary trading to that vision.
