SDX, part of SIX, the world’s first fully regulated financial market infrastructure offering issuance, settlement, servicing, and custody of digital securities is pleased to announce that it can now support securities issuances governed by English law*.

Currently SDX can custody intermediated securities (book-entry securities) based on Swiss law governed uncertificated securities or ledger-based securities only. As of 16 June 2025, SDX will also be able to allow securities issuances based on global certificates.

Extending its services to also support English law governed securities and to enable issuances under global certificates allows international issuers to make securities issuances under a law (English law) or in a form (global certificate) they are familiar with. Securities issued via SDX under English law can be held in custody at SDX by custodian banks domiciled outside the United Kingdom only.

*Due to regulatory reasons, English law governed securities issued by issuers domiciled in the United Kingdom are not eligible at SDX. Furthermore, participants of SDX domiciled in the United Kingdom may not hold any English law governed securities issued at SDX (native assets).
