CACEIS has invested in a minority share of Kriptown, a French fintech focused on asset tokenisation. This aligns with the launch of Lise (Lightning Stock Exchange), a European tokenised exchange for SMEs and mid-cap firms.
As part of Crédit Agricole, CACEIS provides global asset servicing to asset managers and institutional investors, operating in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. It offers various services, including custody, fund administration, execution, clearing, and middle-office outsourcing.
In support of its strategy, CACEIS has invested in Kriptown, a European fintech established in 2018, known for its innovative asset tokenisation technology. Kriptown integrates market and post-trade functions into a streamlined platform. It is also behind Lise, a regulated market platform that simplifies equity financing and listings for SMEs.
Lise is creating a blockchain-based market system and has sought approval as a DLT Trading and Settlement System (DLT TSS) under the EU pilot program, enabling financial instrument operations via distributed ledger technology.
CACEIS is committed to advancing digital asset capabilities, underscored by its recent MiCA regulatory approval, believing that innovation should progress alongside regulation.
This investment is a strategic step for Kriptown, bolstering its governance and boosting Lise’s reputation among stakeholders as it develops this pioneering venture.
