Per a news release shared with Cointelegraph, this development marks the group’s first “settlement of exchange transactions with blockchain-based securities against central bank money.” “The settlement solution was linked to the Deutsche Bundesbank"s trigger solution and thus to the traditional euro payment system.“

The test was conducted as part of the ECB’s exploration into blockchain tech and involved six partner banks: Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, DZ Bank, LBBW, Bankhaus Metzler and V-Bank.


Using Boerse Stuttgart Group’s blockchain-based settlement solution, the institutions tested various transactions involving five tokenized securities, including bonds, funds and shares.


Focused on “the interoperability of blockchain and central bank money,” the settlement time was reduced “from two days to just a few minutes.”“The tests showed that the  settlement processes can be mapped automatically, step by step and directly between  the trading participants – efficiently, securely and without counterparty risk.”

The pilot project explored individual cases and multiple transaction scenarios to allow for a broad assessment of blockchain tech implications in real-world market conditions.


The tests simulated normal operational environments, including exceptional cases, to provide a well-rounded understanding of the reliability of blockchain integration in digital markets.


In addition to Boerse Stuttgart’s crypto custody service, Euwax, a German broker, contributed to the test findings and the ECB’s effort to assess blockchain applications in capital market transactions.

The collaboration will enable about 700 cooperating banks under DZ Bank’s umbrella to provide retail customers with digital asset access.
