CACEIS Invests in Kriptown to Accelerate Asset Tokenisation and SME Financing

CACEIS has acquired a minority stake in Kriptown, a French fintech specialising in asset tokenisation. The move supports the upcoming launch of Lise (Lightning Stock Exchange), Kriptown’s subsidiary and the first European tokenised exchange focused on SMEs and mid-cap firms.

Lise is building a market infrastructure to simplify equity financing and listings, and has applied for approval as a DLT Trading and Settlement System (DLT TSS) under the EU’s pilot regime for blockchain-based financial markets.

This strategic investment reinforces CACEIS’s long-term commitment to digital assets and innovation in financial market infrastructure. It follows the group’s recent MiCA registration, further underlining its belief in aligning regulation with technological progress.

CACEIS’s support also strengthens Kriptown’s governance and credibility as it scales its blockchain-based platform for SME financing.
