EU Launches Industry Group to Set Standards for Tokenized Securities by 2028

The European Union has begun forming an industry group tasked with creating initial standards for holding and settling tokenized securities. Applications to join this group are set to close on November 27, according to CoinTelegraph.

The initiative aims to establish these foundational standards by early 2028, marking a significant step toward regulatory clarity and infrastructure development in the digital asset space within the EU.

For Japanese investors and financial institutions, this development signals growing global momentum toward tokenized securities, which could influence cross-border trading and regulatory approaches in Japan’s evolving digital asset markets.
