Europe’s first tokenized equity exchange, Lise – Lightning Stock Exchange, and Kaiko, the global leader in independent digital asset market data, are joining forces to provide the pricing infrastructure institutional investors need for tokenized securities.
—
Under the first phase of the collaboration, Kaiko will aggregate, normalize, and distribute real-time and end-of-day pricing for all tokenized securities listed on Lise, starting with equities.
By integrating this data into existing institutional workflows, custodians, fund administrators, and asset valuators gain access to independent, auditable pricing — a prerequisite for regulatory compliance and informed decision-making.
Filling the Missing Market Data Gap
The alliance brings together two complementary strengths. Lise offers the infrastructure: atomic settlement, 24/7 trading, and a seamless DLT-native market under the EU DLT Pilot Regime. Kaiko provides the data layer: regulatory-compliant, auditable pricing that institutions rely on. Together, they ensure tokenized markets operate with both speed and trust.
“For tokenized equities to become a true asset class for institutional investors, pricing data must flow through the infrastructure they trust. Our partnership with Kaiko solves this from day one: every issuer listed on Lise will have its pricing available through Kaiko’s platform, giving investors, custodians, and valuators the independent data they need,” said Mark Kepeneghian, CEO of Lise.
Looking Ahead: Building a Long-Term Data Ecosystem
This partnership is just the beginning. Future initiatives could include reference rates and indices for tokenized equities, advanced analytics for best execution and fair value pricing, and enhanced market surveillance capabilities.
By aligning infrastructure and data, Europe is positioning itself to lead the global adoption of tokenized capital markets. With Kaiko’s worldwide coverage, every security listed on Lise can be priced, valued, and accessible to investors everywhere.
“Pricing data is the entry point for institutional participation in any market. Our partnership with Lise, a regulated European exchange, gives institutions access to independent, auditable pricing for tokenized equities at launch, establishing the foundation to treat these instruments as fully investable,” added Elodie de Marchi, COO of Kaiko.
In short, this partnership is about more than trading; it’s about making tokenized equities viable, transparent, and trustworthy for institutional investors.
