21X, the first fully regulated exchange in the European Union (EU) for digital securities, has today announced a strategic cooperation with Finance Loop to strengthen the adoption of emerging technologies in financial services.

Finance Loop is a Frankfurt-based professional network focused on blockchain, digital assets and artificial intelligence in finance. Through events, education and industry exchange, the initiative connects banks, asset managers and technology providers exploring the transition toward on-chain financial infrastructure.

The cooperation will focus on joint events, knowledge sharing and community engagement to make blockchain-based financial market solutions more accessible to industry participants. Moreover, the initiative is designed to establish Frankfurt and Germany as a primary engine for financial innovation in Europe.

Max J. Heinzle, CEO of 21X, said: “Finance is undergoing a structural transformation as digital assets and on-chain market infrastructure move closer to the institutional mainstream. Communities, such as Finance Loop, play an important role in connecting finance and technology leaders, sharing knowledge and accelerating adoption. We are pleased to work together to support education, dialogue and innovation around regulated digital capital markets.”

Jeffrey Hartjes, Executive Business Manager at 21X, adds: “We are pleased to support a platform that brings together leaders from banking, asset management and technology to exchange ideas on emerging financial technologies. We look forward to working with entrepreneurs and market participants from Frankfurt and beyond to help drive innovation across the financial sector.”
