Lithuanian Startup Axiology Raises €5M For Tokenised Capital Markets Platform

The round was led by Exponential Science, e2vc, and Coinvest Capital, with participation from new investors TIBAS Ventures and Plug and Play, alongside existing backers including BSV Ventures and NGL Ventures. Axiology has now raised €7 million in total.

“Europe’s Savings and Investment Union won’t be built by policy alone – it needs new market infrastructure” says Marius Jurgilas, Founder and CEO of Axiology. “The Market Integration Package and the DLT Pilot Regime finally give us the legal space to do that. Our system is already live, and this funding allows us to scale a unified regulated platform for European capital markets.”

Founded in 2023 Axiology aims to integrate Europe’s fragmented capital markets. Its exclusive Distributed Ledger Technology Trading and Settlement System (DLT TSS) licence enables the company to combine issuance, custody trading and settlement within one regulated platform, streamlining processes and reducing infrastructure costs for participants.

Axiology’s Seed round reflects a wider surge of European investment in regulated digital-asset and capital-markets infrastructure throughout 2025, particularly across trading, payments and settlement solutions.

In Germany, Tangany raised €10 million to expand regulated digital-asset custody for financial institutions. UK-based Fnality secured €115 million to scale its DLT-driven wholesale payment and settlement infrastructure.

Related activity includes London-based Agio Ratings, which raised €5 million to deliver crypto-risk analytics for banks, and Nodu, which secured €1.25 million in pre-Seed funding to develop compliant stablecoin and payment infrastructure. In France, Spiko raised €18.9 million to build tokenised cash-management tools designed to improve treasury yield access.

Together, these funding rounds represent roughly €150 million invested in European DLT-enabled financial-market infrastructure.

“Axiology is tackling one of the biggest challenges in finance today: fragmentation and limited access to core financial instruments. By rebuilding capital markets infrastructure on compliant distributed ledger systems, they are making markets faster, cheaper and more inclusive. This is exactly the type of transformative technology Exponential Science exists to support,” says Dr Paolo Tasca, Founder, Exponential Science

Axiology is partnering with Lithuania’s Ministry of Finance to create a digital-native version of Government Defence Bonds. Currently distributed through local financial institutions these bonds have limited access. Issuing them via Axiology’s TSS would extend availability across the European Economic Area, increasing investor participation, including from the Lithuanian diaspora, and strengthening national defence funding.

Built for institutional clients, Axiology’s platform operates on a private, permissioned network that ensures regulatory compliance, transaction finality, and tamper-proof audit trails. The system uses distributed ledger technology and European-licensed stablecoins to enable atomic settlement supporting near-instant execution compared to traditional T+2 settlement cycles.

The newly raised funding will support Axiology’s expansion, strengthen institutional partnerships, advance geographic growth and interoperability and enable participation in wholesale CBDC initiatives such as the ECB’s Appia and Pontes projects. The company also plans integration with TARGET2 to enhance settlement efficiency.

“We are delighted to continue backing Axiology, this time alongside new international investors, as the founders work to build safe, efficient, and affordable access to Europe’s capital markets. Axiology’s vision is fully aligned with our mission to nurture a more inclusive financing ecosystem and to close key market gaps for both companies and investors,” noted Viktorija Trimbel, CEO and Managing Director of Coinvest Capital.
