Unlocking Intraday Liquidity Efficiency: Cordial Systems Partners with 21X
Cordial and 21X bring secure, real-time access to tokenized markets for institutions.
Intraday liquidity is where operational strategy meets real financial impact. For large institutions, smarter, faster deployment of capital and optimization of liquidity buffers can translate into tens of millions of euros in annual savings. That’s why today, we’re proud to announce our partnership with 21X, the first EU-regulated DLT trading and settlement venue for tokenized securities.
This collaboration brings Cordial’s secure, self-hosted MPC wallet infrastructure into the 21X ecosystem, giving banks and institutions a direct and compliant entry point to trade and settle tokenized equities, bonds, and funds on-chain—without compromising on custody, governance, or control.
A New Era of Liquidity and Capital Efficiency
21X’s regulated marketplace offers a smart-contract-based infrastructure for issuing, trading, and settling tokenized financial instruments across both primary and secondary markets. With Cordial, institutional participants now have a wallet-native way to securely connect to this venue while maintaining full control over their digital asset custody stack.
This is a game-changer for institutions seeking to unlock new efficiencies in:
- Intraday cash management
- Repo and securities lending
- Real-time capital deployment
By enabling secure and direct wallet connectivity, Cordial helps institutions manage and mobilize tokenized assets across venues like 21X without the delays, intermediaries, or exposure risks that have traditionally hindered intraday liquidity optimization.
Built for the Demands of Modern Capital Markets
Cordial’s MPC wallet platform is fully self-hosted, meaning clients retain complete control over private keys, transaction policies, and governance rules. Whether deployed on-prem, in a private cloud, or via hybrid infrastructure, our zero-trust architecture ensures every transaction is verified and authorized at the cryptographic level.
For 21X, this aligns with their vision of a more secure, interoperable, and frictionless future for capital markets, where tokenized instruments are traded in real time, directly from institutionally-governed wallets.
“Cordial Systems is helping remove an important barrier to institutional adoption by enabling secure, enterprise-grade wallet connectivity to 21X,” said Max Heinzle, CEO of 21X.
“21X is redefining capital markets infrastructure,” added Sebastian Higgs, COO at Cordial Systems. “We’re proud to support their vision by providing the custody foundation that enables institutions to access tokenized markets with full autonomy and trust.”
The Future of Institutional Trading, Delivered Securely
This partnership reflects a growing convergence: regulated capital markets infrastructure and institutional-grade wallet technology working together to unlock real-time finance. For asset managers, banks, exchanges, and treasury desks, this means faster access to liquidity, smarter capital deployment, and unprecedented operational efficiency.
