Cecabank, Crédit Mutuel join Regulated Layer One tokenization platform as it launches

The Regulated Layer One (RL1) blockchain cooperative has officially launched in Luxembourg, marking a significant step toward a neutral European network for tokenized asset settlement. SWIAT has transferred its DLT platform to the new organization while remaining the primary technical partner. The initiative now includes ten founding members, with the recent addition of Spanish wholesale bank Cecabank and the French cooperative Crédit Mutuel. This launch coincides with the Eurosystem’s Project Pontes, which facilitates on-chain settlement using central bank money and wholesale CBDCs. The membership roster features major institutions such as ABN Amro, DekaBank, DZ Bank, LBBW, Natixis CIB, SC Ventures, and Boerse Stuttgart’s Seturion. While L-BANK and KfW have transitioned to supporter roles, the network aims to provide a robust infrastructure for the evolving European digital asset market. By establishing this collaborative framework, RL1 seeks to standardize the issuance and settlement of tokenized financial instruments across the continent.
