Securitize, a digital asset trading platform, has started tokenizing equity in Spanish real estate investment trust, Mancipi Partners. The tokens will trade on the Avalanche blockchain from September.

This marks the first tokenized equity issuance under the European Union’s pilot scheme for distributed ledger technology, supervised by the European Securities Market Authority. Securitize will also undergo a six-month supervision period by Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV).

Securitize's CEO, Carlos Domingo, believes the move will significantly benefit European businesses, providing new avenues for capital raises and potential tax benefits.
