CACEIS acquires a stake in Kriptown to support the launch of Europe's first tokenised asset-based exchange

Monday, August 04, 2025
Opalesque Industry Update - CACEIS has acquired a minority stake in Kriptown, the French fintech specialising in asset tokenisation. This investment coincides with the upcoming launch of Lise (Lightning Stock Exchange), its subsidiary, which will be the first European tokenised exchange dedicated to SMEs and mid-cap companies.

With this move, CACEIS reaffirms its commitment to driving transformation in the financial sector and fostering digital ecosystems that promote innovation. Kriptown's subsidiary Lise is developing a market infrastructure designed to simplify equity financing and listings for SMEs.

Lise has applied for approval as a DLT Trading and Settlement System (DLT TSS) under the European pilot regime, which permits the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) for issuing, trading, and settling financial instruments on the blockchain.

CACEIS's backing marks a strategic milestone for Lise's parent company, reinforcing its governance and enhancing the project's credibility among stakeholders.

The investment is in line with CACEIS long-term strategy for digital assets, which it has been pursuing for several years to support the transformation of market infrastructure.

This commitment was demonstrated more recently with the granting of MiCA approval, which reinforces the group's belief that technological innovation and regulation must go hand in hand.


CACEIS is the asset servicing banking group of Credit Agricole dedicated to asset managers and institutional investors. CACEIS offers a broad range of services covering execution, clearing, forex, securities lending, custody, depositary, fund administration, fund distribution support, middle-office outsourcing and issuer services. The group holds €5.3tln (US$6.1tln) in AuC and €3.4tln in AuA (as of 31st December 2024).
