Bullish Wins Gibraltar Approval To Launch Tokenized Securities Trading

Bullish has received regulatory approval from the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission to offer trading in tokenized securities, with trading expected to begin in the coming weeks. The approval allows the exchange to expand beyond crypto-assets into blockchain-based representations of traditional securities, positioning Bullish among the first regulated trading venues authorized to support issuer-sponsored tokenized securities within an established supervisory framework.

The authorization strengthens Bullish's strategy to build end-to-end institutional infrastructure. In May, the company agreed to acquire Equiniti, one of the world's largest transfer agents serving nearly 3,000 issuer clients and maintaining shareholder records for more than 20 million investors, combining issuer record keeping, shareholder registries, and secondary market trading within a single platform.
