Cashlink Technologies GmbH
Licensed by BaFin to run a crypto securities register under Germany's Electronic Securities Act, this Frankfurt platform stands where a central securities depository otherwise would; KfW placed a €100m digital bond through it in July 2024.
The profile
Frankfurt-based infrastructure provider for token-based securities, licensed by BaFin in June 2024 to operate a crypto securities register under Germany's Electronic Securities Act and in December 2024 to provide crypto custody. Because German law permits a registrar in place of a central securities depository for securities issued on distributed ledgers, it occupies the position a depository would otherwise hold. Issuers using the platform include KfW, which placed a €100m digital bond in July 2024, NRW.BANK, Metzler and Helaba's WIBank.
