Bullish Secures Gibraltar Approval for Tokenized Securities
Bullish said the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission approved its plans for tokenized securities. The approval gives the company a regulated route for digital securities activity. It also strengthens Bullish’s relationship with Gibraltar’s financial regulator.
The company and the GFSC began working together in 2025 on digital asset infrastructure. That work focused on regulated systems for blockchain-based financial markets. The latest approval expands that effort into tokenized securities.
Gibraltar has played an early role in digital asset regulation. The jurisdiction introduced a dedicated legal framework for Distributed Ledger Technology firms. Bullish views Gibraltar as a key base for supervised market infrastructure.
Tokenized Securities Push Targets Non-U.S. Market Access
Bullish plans to offer tokenized securities trading to eligible non-U.S. participants. The company expects the service to support blockchain-based trading within Gibraltar’s supervisory framework. The launch still depends on final pre-go-live conditions.
Tokenized securities use blockchain infrastructure to represent traditional financial assets. The model can support round-the-clock trading and faster settlement. It can also reduce delays linked to conventional post-trade processing.
For issuers, tokenization can improve transparency and simplify ownership tracking. It can also support a more direct connection between issuers and shareholders. Therefore, Bullish sees the approval as part of a wider capital markets strategy.
Equiniti Deal Supports Bullish’s Tokenized Securities Plan
Bullish also linked the approval to its planned acquisition of Equiniti. In May 2026, Bullish agreed to buy the global transfer agent. Equiniti serves nearly 3,000 issuer clients and supports more than 20 million shareholders.
The acquisition would help Bullish cover more of the tokenized securities lifecycle. The combined platform aims to support issuance, registry, and trading. It would also connect transfer-agent records with Bullish’s blockchain and trading systems.
The GFSC approval adds a regulated trading venue to that broader plan. Bullish now has a clearer path toward secondary trading in tokenized securities. The company said trading could begin in the coming weeks.
