Nasdaq, Boerse Stuttgart Urge EU to Lift Tokenization Trial Cap

Nasdaq, Boerse Stuttgart, and several other financial institutions have formally requested the European Union to remove or significantly increase the cap on trading volumes in its tokenization pilot program. The group argues that the current restrictions hinder innovation and limit the potential of blockchain-based securities trading. The EU's DLT Pilot Regime, which caps trading at €500 million per platform, is seen as too restrictive for large-scale adoption. Industry participants believe that raising or eliminating the cap would accelerate the integration of tokenized assets into mainstream finance, boost liquidity, and enhance market efficiency. This move signals growing institutional demand for clearer and more flexible crypto regulations in Europe.
