Axiology, the financial technology company specialising in distributed ledger technology (DLT) infrastructure for capital markets, has been recognised as an emerging firm in digital asset exchange at the Future of Finance Awards last night.
The Future of Finance Awards recognise high-impact innovation across financial services, with this year's edition introducing a dedicated Best Emerging Digital Asset Exchange category. The shortlist included London Stock Exchange Group, BPX Digital Exchange, LISE (Lightning Stock Exchange), and ICE/NYSE Token Platform.
Winning this award highlights another step in Axiology’s rapid growth since its founding in September 2023. Just this year, Axiology has raised over €5 million in seed funding to scale its live, EU-regulated platform for tokenised securities under the DLT Pilot Regime. The company was also one of the first to qualify for Lithuania's SME capital markets subsidy, which means companies that use Axiology to issue or trade securities have those partially covered. The subsidy recognition directly reinforces the award: Axiology's exchange infrastructure has been formally identified as a qualifying venue for public capital markets support, a signal of where European regulators see DLT-based infrastructure heading.
Marius Jurgilas, Founder and CEO at Axiology, commented on the award win: “Our Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) went live just before Christmas last year, so we are honoured to be recognised with the Best Emerging Digital Asset Exchange award just over 6 months later.”
Axiology’s MTF launched with brokers already connected to the platform helping to drive liquidity and trading activity from day one. Enabled by Axiology’s unique licence, the MTF forms part of the company’s integrated trading and settlement infrastructure, giving clients seamless access to depository, trading and settlement services through a single platform.
Wendy Gallagher and Dominic Hobson, Co-Founders at Future of Finance Awards: "Axiology's nomination generated strong interest among our judging panel. Their work in building compliant, operational exchange infrastructure for European capital markets is exactly what this award was created to recognise."
Jurgilas concluded: “Winning the Best Emerging Digital Asset Exchange award shows confidence in our platform and commitment to deliver the infrastructure that modern finance markets require. As Europe’s capital markets undergo a structural shift as issuers, we will continue to work towards closing the accessibility gap between retail investors and digital bonds.”
