Axiology and the Tokenization of European Capital Markets: A Regulated Platform for Digital Capital

In 2026 the Lithuanian startup Axiology closed a seed round of €5 million led by Exponential Science, e2vc and Coinvest Capital, with participation from new investors such as TIBAS Ventures and Plug and Play. Support from investors in the previous round, including BSV Ventures and NGL Ventures, was essential. To date Axiology has raised a total of €7 million.

This increase follows the previous €2 million round registered in 2024, as reported by EU-Startups. This context signals the ongoing tokenization of European capital markets.

"The European Union for savings and investment won't be built solely through policy: a new market infrastructure is needed," says Marius Jurgilas, founder and CEO of Axiology. "The Market Integration Package and the pilot DLT regime finally give us the legal space to realise it. Our system is already operational, and this funding enables us to scale a regulated platform capable of unifying issuance, custody, trading and settlement across European capital markets."

Axiology fits into a broader trend: in 2025 Europe saw a wave of investments in digital, regulated market infrastructures for digital assets and capital markets. Meanwhile in Germany Tangany raised €10 million to expand regulated digital asset custody; in the United Kingdom Fnality secured €115 million to grow wholesale payments systems based on DLT. Other signals include Agio Ratings in London with €5 million for crypto risk analytics for banks and Nodu with €1.25 million in pre-seed for stablecoin infrastructure and compliant payments. In France Spiko raised €18.9 million for tokenized treasury management tools.

Together these initiatives represent an estimated total of around €150 million in public and private funding announced in the context of distributed-ledger technology-based market infrastructures.

"The evolution of European markets is undergoing a structural transformation: issuers, infrastructures and regulators are seeking more efficient ways to manage the entire lifecycle of financial instruments," says Marius Jurgilas, founder and CEO of Axiology. "Axiology is one of the few platforms capable of handling every stage within a single regulated system, a key element to overcoming European market fragmentation. This investment confirms confidence in our approach and our ability to deliver the infrastructure modern markets require."

Founded in 2023, Axiology aims to unite European capital markets by offering an exclusive license for a trading and settlement system built on DLT technology. The goal is to issue, custody, trade and settle transactions within a single regulated environment, simplifying processes and lowering costs for market participants.

Ultimately, the tokenization of European capital markets represents a concrete frontier for fintechs, banks and investors: a model that could accelerate access to regulated instruments and foster new opportunities for innovation and collaboration among European firms.
