We expect this momentum to accelerate into the end of this year and the start of next year with new products, asset classes, and another jump in the dollar value of assets on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Our strategy has always been clear: tokenisation is not about novelty or replicating traditional investments on-chain, it is about removing barriers, increasing transparency, and enabling access to financial assets.<\/p>\n<p>The Bitfinex Securities mission is to level the playing field for capital, for both investors and issuers.<\/p>\n<p>We are proud of what we have achieved in 2025, and look forward to an even more productive 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Milestones of 2025<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January | Bitfinex Securities Day Held for the First Time in El Salvador<\/h3>\n<p>The year opened with our first-ever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X9s0SHfnleA\">Latin America Bitfinex Securities Day<\/a>, held on the eve of the Plan \u20bf Forum in El Salvador. The event focused on the fast-emerging regulatory framework in El Salvador for tokenised products, as well as the burgeoning pipeline of tokenised investments seeking to be issued under El Salvador\u2019s Securities law.<\/p>\n<p>Our debut El Salvador tokenised product was <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bitfinex.com\/education\/pioneering-tokenised-markets-the-nexbridge-capital-raise\/\">USTBL<\/a>, a product that gave investors access, for as little as $1, to short-term US Treasury bills. The product saw significant demand. Access was further enhanced when we also introduced a monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitfinex.com\/securities\/posts\/1108\/\">subscription and redemption window<\/a>, which allowed investors to access liquidity directly from the issuer, in addition to the 24-hour liquidity available through the Bitfinex Securities orderbook.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June | Bitfinex Securities Featured at the DigiAssets Conference, London &amp; Direct Listing of TITAN1 &amp; TITAN2<\/h3>\n<p>Bitfinex Securities sponsored the DigiAssets Conference in London, a select gathering of key industry leaders, where it became clear just how mainstream tokenisation was becoming. Sharing a stage with representatives of BlackRock and Fidelity, Bitfinex Securities Head of Operations, Jesse Knutson discussed the evolution of tokenisation and digital cash infrastructure, and how regulated platforms were shaping the next phase of digital capital markets.<\/p>\n<p>June also saw the direct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitfinex.com\/securities\/posts\/1127\/\">listing of TITAN1 and TITAN2<\/a>, which gave investors access to unique investments in the United Kingdom. <a href=\"https:\/\/capital.bitfinex.com\/titan1\">TITAN1<\/a> offers the opportunity to buy directly into subordinated debt issued by a UK Credit Union, supporting lending initiatives aimed at local communities, while <a href=\"https:\/\/capital.bitfinex.com\/titan2\">TITAN2<\/a> offered exposure to litigation financing for the origination and processing of vehicle financing claims in the motor finance industry, notably in the Personal Contract Purchase space.<\/p>\n<p>The two listings broadened the universe of tokenised investment opportunities on Bitfinex Securities and reinforced our role as a venue to provide wider and more diverse access to investment opportunities.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">July | Mikro Kapital Completes Tokenised Bond Cycle for One of World\u2019s First Tokenised Bonds<\/h3>\n<p>Mikro Kapital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitfinex.com\/securities\/posts\/1128\/\">successfully completed<\/a> its first full tokenised bond cycle \u2014 from issuance to maturity \u2014 on Bitfinex Securities. As the issuer of one of the world\u2019s first tokenised bonds,\u00a0 the so-called ALT11M2507 was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitfinex.com\/securities\/posts\/993\/\">first launched in 2023<\/a>, and gave investors access to an 11-month tokenised bond with a 10% coupon. It successfully raised more than 5.2 million USDt and was also unique in that the initial capital raise, the coupons paid out to investors, and the eventual redemption were all conducted in USDt.<\/p>\n<p>ALT11M2507 demonstrated the successful integration of a traditional bond-like investment with the broader crypto ecosystem and showcased how USDt could be deployed into microfinance investments for the benefit of small entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">August | Bitfinex Securities Launched Inaugural Latin America Market Inclusion Report<\/h3>\n<p>Bitfinex Securities presented its first-ever Latin America\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitfinex.com\/financial-inclusion-latam\/?utm_campaign=market_inclusion&amp;utm_source=press&amp;utm_medium=press\">Market Inclusion Report<\/a>, an in-depth study analysing the capital markets of eight Latin American countries. Featuring interviews and analysis from capital market participants and investment analysts from across the region, the report demonstrated how tokenisation provided an opportunity for issuers and investors to tap into this new technology and disintermediate existing investment and capital raising inefficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>The report was officially launched at Cripto LatinFest in Medellin, Colombia with a panel of experts and highlighted tokenisation as a transformative socio-economic opportunity for the region.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">September | BMN2 is Launched on Bitfinex Securities<\/h3>\n<p>September was a busy month. After the successful issuance and redemption of the first Blockstream Mining Note in 2024 on Bitfinex Securities, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitfinex.com\/securities\/posts\/1139\/\">secondary trading for Blockstream Mining Note 2<\/a> went live. Like the first Blockstream Mining Note, BMN2 gave investors access to a four-year tokenised hashrate contract derived from BlockStream Mining\u2019s institutional-focused, prepaid Bitcoin mining and hosting services in North America. Since listing, it has seen healthy volumes on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Following the direct listing of BMN2, Bitfinex Securities announced that it had now close to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bitfinex.com\/media-releases\/bitfinex-securities-approaches-250-million-tokenised-securities-milestone-and-sets-out-plans-to-attain-full-astana-international-finance-centre-licence\/\">$250 million in tokenised securities<\/a> listed on the platform \u2014 a significant milestone in the development of the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bitfinex Securities also sponsored the Astana Finance Week in Kazakhstan for the third consecutive year. As an exchange regulated by the Astana Financial Services Authority (as well as the Comisi\u00f3n Nacional de Activos Digitales in El Salvador), we engaged with regulators, issuers, and investors in one of the fastest-growing financial markets in Central Asia. The sponsorship reinforces our commitment to working with jurisdictions building modern digital asset frameworks.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">October | Bitfinex Hosts Third Bitfinex Securities Day in Lugano, Switzerland<\/h3>\n<p>In the strongest line-up of speakers and attendees to date, Bitfinex Securities hosted its third consecutive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitfinex.com\/securities\/events\/\">Bitfinex Securities Day in Lugano<\/a>, featuring leading voices in tokenisation, and a selection of the world\u2019s largest issuers and investors. The event brought together global speakers and institutional participants to discuss the future of RWA tokenisation, regulatory evolution, and the infrastructure required to support next-generation capital markets.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">December | Bitfinex Securities &amp; Hadron by Tether Networking Evening<\/h3>\n<p>In December, Bitfinex Securities announced it was intending to apply to the Astana Financial Services Authority, to graduate from the FinTech Lab sandbox operated within the Astana International Financial Centre. In a demonstration of the growing maturity of Bitfinex Securities and tokenised assets, the platform is looking forward to receiving a full AIFC operating license, to enable it to facilitate the issuance and listing of larger amounts of digital securities.<\/p>\n<p>Bifinex Securities also signalled its intention to grow its\u00a0 presence in the Middle East, holding a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BFXSecurities\/status\/1998803050568323551\">VIP networking event<\/a>, connecting issuers, investors, and industry builders in collaboration with Hadron by Tether, the tokenisation platform.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we closed the year with an announcement that the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bitfinex.com\/bitfinex-securities\/bitfinex-securities-platform-limit-increase\/\">increased the platform limit<\/a> for Bitfinex Securities\u2019 AIFC entity by $100 million, bringing the total capacity to $310 million. This expansion enables Bitfinex Securities to undertake increased capital-raising activities and enhanced secondary market trading for listed issuers. The uplift reflects the surging global demand for tokenised securities and reaffirms Bitfinex Securities\u2019 position as a premier international platform for digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>This year brought meaningful progress, significant milestones, and continued growth in tokenised capital markets. Global capital markets are changing fast, and tokenisation represents a vision of the future that will bring more capital, more quickly and more efficiently into investment markets.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bitfinex.com\/bitfinex-securities\/bitfinex-securities-2025-year-in-review-expanding-access-to-global-capital-markets\/\">Bitfinex Securities 2025 Year in Review: Expanding Access to Global Capital Markets<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bitfinex.com\/\">Bitfinex blog<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2025, Bitfinex Securities advanced its mission to democratise access to high-quality financial investments through regulated tokenisation.\u00a0 While many other platforms have talked up the potential of tokenising stocks or unlisted equity, our focus has been on helping issuers who do not traditionally have access to capital markets raise money; and to help investors find [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interesting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122806"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=122806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122806\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=122806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=122806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=122806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
