Cashlink operates as a fully licensed financial institution under German law, providing comprehensive infrastructure for tokenized securities issuance, custody, and settlement. The company holds regulatory licenses under § 32 KWG for crypto securities registry (Kryptowertpapierregisterführung) and crypto custody services (Kryptoverwahrgeschäft) per the German Electronic Securities Act (eWpG).
Cashlink Connect Core - Issuance Platform
The emission module enables issuers to launch token-based securities in full regulatory compliance on blockchain infrastructure. Built on a proven and audited smart contract suite, Cashlink Connect Core provides scalable API-based connectivity linking issuers with brokers and trading venues. The platform supports tokenized bonds, funds, and structured products.
Cashlink Connect Banking - Settlement Infrastructure
The settlement module enables custody banks, brokers, and trading venues to process token-based securities post-trade with full regulatory compliance in collective custody. The infrastructure transforms settlement from T+2 to T+0 through token-based architecture, delivering real-time transaction processing without delays, clearing houses, or settlement risks.
Digital Money Integration
The infrastructure is interoperable with stablecoins and upcoming digital central bank money solutions from the European Central Bank (ECB). For the first time, tokenized assets become programmable and can seamlessly interact with digital money on shared infrastructure, enabling delivery-versus-payment in real-time.
Institutional-Grade Banking Infrastructure
Cashlink's banking-grade DLT platform revolutionizes capital market infrastructure by making trading, settlement, and custody faster, more transparent, efficient, and cost-effective. The platform maintains connectivity with traditional distribution channels and DeFi ecosystems, providing issuers with maximum market reach.
