    EU finance groups push to remove tokenized securities cap

    A coalition of European financial and tokenization groups, including Nasdaq and Boerse Stuttgart Group, has urged EU lawmakers to remove or significantly raise the proposed €100 billion cap on tokenized financial instruments, arguing it is insufficient given existing projects and comparisons with US markets. The draft letter, sent to EU policymakers, suggests a €500 billion threshold as a baseline if a cap remains, noting some projects in Europe already reach €350 billion in scale. The groups emphasized that the current cap is low relative to the value of European markets and global standards, with US platforms reportedly tokenizing assets without volume caps, covering up to €150 trillion. The European Commission has proposed increasing the limit to up to €100 billion as part of revisions to its DLT Pilot Regime, which currently exempts certain blockchain-based asset transactions from some EU regulations. The letter follows months of industry pressure to raise asset and volume limits under the regime to support market growth.
