The demand for issuance of tokenized securities around the world keeps growing, and the number of platforms that provide tokenization services for businesses increases with it.
There are multiple players in the U.S. that include such worldwide leaders of the market as Securitize, Swarm, and StartEngine, and there is a clear picture of the infrastructure in this region — there are also reports and security token maps that outline the clear picture.
At the same time, the European market of primary issuance of tokenized securities is less clarified. To provide a full picture, Stobox team has put together a map of security token issuance platforms in Europe — choosing the most prominent provider in each jurisdiction.
