Market infrastructure operators urge EU to raise €100 billion DLT Pilot Regime cap
Nasdaq, Börse Stuttgart, and other market operators called on EU lawmakers to raise or remove the €100B cap on total assets in the DLT Pilot Regime sandbox. Cap constrains settlement and trading innovation via blockchain.
WHY IT MATTERS
€100B ceiling may be insufficient for large-scale settlement pilots. If cap stays low, major exchanges will exhaust sandbox space, delaying enterprise DLT adoption. EU policymakers must choose: expand sandbox or force faster permanent DLT regulation.
