This reflects the growing demand for tokenised securities globally, and recognises Bitfinex Securities’ role as one of the leading international tokenisation platforms. The increase in the platform limit means that Bitfinex Securities will be able to facilitate additional capital raising activities and secondary market trading of companies that wish to be listed on the platform.
The decision comes at the end of a pivotal year for Bitfinex Securities, which also operates a regulated entity in El Salvador. In September 2025, it announced it was approaching $250 million of tokenised listed assets across the platform. This includes the listing of the tokenised subordinated debt of a UK community bank, tokenised exposure to Bitcoin mining in North America, tokenised US Treasury Bills, tokenised equity of an entity providing litigation financing for motor industry claims in the UK, and the tokenisation of bonds investing in microfinance opportunities in emerging markets.
Jesse Knutson, Head of Operations at Bitfinex Securities, commented: “AFSA has proven itself to be a trailblazer in the regulation of digital assets, and we remain grateful for its continued support. There is growing recognition worldwide that tokenised securities are radically changing the structure of capital markets and opening up new markets for both issuers and investors. As a forward-looking jurisdiction, the AIFC is well-positioned to capture the benefits of a digital asset-friendly economy. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration with AFSA over the coming years.”
Bitfinex Securities was the first global digital asset platform to join AFSA’s Fintech Lab, a regulatory sandbox, in September 2021. Since then, it has listed over $200 million worth of tokenised securities, including Mikro Kapital’s regular tokenised bond programme and the first Blockstream Mining Note, issued in 2022.
Bitfinex Securities is submitting an application to AFSA to migrate from the FintechLab to become an Authorised Investment Exchange.
