The industrial alliance aims to accelerate Weltix’s growth in the capital markets, with LCS acting as a strategic partner for institutional and corporate clients.
Leonardo Capital SIM S.p.A. (“LCS”), a leading independent investment firm specialized in investment banking and capital markets services, with a consolidated presence among institutional investors and large enterprises, has acquired a 5% stake in the capital of Weltix S.p.A. (“Weltix”), a regulated infrastructure for the digital management of private assets. The transaction marks the launch of a wide-ranging industrial collaboration between the two companies.
The transaction is configured as a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the positioning of Weltix in the institutional market by combining complementary skills, consolidated relationships and a shared vision, with the objective of expanding business opportunities and consolidating Weltix’s presence in the capital markets. Leonardo Capital SIM will provide its experience in capital markets and its consolidated relationship with institutional investors, banks, asset managers, insurance companies and corporate clients, contributing to expanding the diffusion of Weltix’s regulated infrastructures within the professional market.
The entry of LCS fits into a path that has already brought Weltix to the center of the Italian private asset market, with a particular focus on natively digital financial instruments, commonly known as tokenized, and aims to spread this very innovative method of issuance and circulation among institutional investors and large enterprises.
In October 2025, Weltix was the first Italian company to issue its share capital in the form of tokens on a public blockchain. In its capacity as DLT Register Manager, with Consob authorization pursuant to the Fintech Decree, Weltix has been involved in a series of transactions that have opened up a previously non existent market alongside leading banking and institutional counterparties: the first tokenized minibond with UniCredit as arranger, CDP among the investors and a SACE guarantee (December 2025); the first tokenized structured note issued by UniCredit (January 2026); and, during 2026, securitization transactions with the main master servicers, including doValueand 130 Servicing, and minibonds on a growing range of instruments and counterparties, including UniCredit itself and Frigiolini & Partners.
A track record that, from the tokenization of shares to structured products up to securitizations, demonstrates the interest and solidity of the model on which the partnership with LCS now aims to accelerate.
