Milan, 22 July 2026
Following the positive experience gained with the first transaction completed in the digital securitisation market through the issuance of natively tokenised ABS, Weltix and 130 Servicing announce a further strengthening of their partnership, confirming their commitment to contributing to the development of increasingly efficient, digital and interoperable infrastructure in support of the private markets.
The strategic partnership between the two companies stems from the complementarity of their respective areas of expertise and forms part of the broader innovation and digitalisation programme promoted by 130 Servicing, a company of the BDG Group. On the one hand, 130 Servicing brings its established experience in the structuring and management of securitisation and structured finance transactions; on the other, Weltix contributes its expertise in the issuance and management of digital financial instruments, in full compliance with its status as an entity authorised by Consob to act as DLT register manager for tokenised securities.
Weltix operates in the Italian market as an independent operator authorised to provide a complete infrastructure for such activities, through its Consob authorisation as DLT register manager and its other regulated services dedicated to the private markets. The partnership with 130 Servicing reflects a logic of integrating specialist expertise and adopting the best solutions available across the market ecosystem, consistent with the path of innovation and digital development pursued in coordination with the distinctive technological expertise of the BDG Group.
As part of this evolution, Weltix manager Andrea Papa will join 130 Servicing on 27 July, where he will contribute to the development of commercial initiatives dedicated to the debt and securitisation markets, strengthening the company’s capabilities and supporting the integration of the services offered by 130 Servicing — including from an innovation perspective — with those of the market’s leading operators. During his time at Weltix, Andrea Papa contributed to the development of the practice dedicated to Debt Capital Markets and of initiatives aimed at the digitalisation of the private markets.
The partnership between Weltix and 130 Servicing forms part of both companies’ development strategies, geared towards building an open ecosystem of industrial and commercial collaborations. For 130 Servicing, this evolution is consistent with the path of innovation, digitalisation and development of new specialist capabilities defined at BDG Group level.
Both companies will also continue to work independently with banks, intermediaries, servicers, asset managers, issuers, investors and other specialist operators, in the belief that the evolution of the private markets depends on interoperable infrastructure, complementary expertise and models of cooperation capable of generating value for the entire financial value chain.
