Chartered Investment joins the Regulated Layer One (RL1) initiative

Chartered Investment, an infrastructure provider for innovative investment products, has joined the Regulated Layer One (RL1) initiative as a shareholding member.
RL1 is a shared, pan-European DLT (distributed ledger technology) infrastructure for regulated capital markets, building on technology developed by SWIAT and now being established as an independent European Cooperative Society (SCE) based in Luxembourg.

Chartered Investment joins a network of European financial institutions including ABN AMRO, DekaBank, DZ BANK, KfW, LBBW, Natixis, NatWest, Börse Stuttgart (Seturion), SC Ventures, L-Bank and V-Bank.

"For us, joining RL1 is a natural extension of the infrastructure we operate," said Markus Fehn, Head of Strategy & Innovation at Chartered Investment. "Our clients create and manage investment products across traditional and digital markets. A shared settlement layer means these products can reach a broader European ecosystem on standardized rails. And as the network matures, we see significant potential in new on-chain use cases".

About RL1

RL1 provides a permissioned blockchain network designed for regulated financial services. The infrastructure supports institutional use cases across issuance, settlement and post-trade processes, with a focus on interoperability, regulatory compliance and capital-efficient prudential treatment. The network is industry-owned and governed by its shareholding members.

About the membership

As a shareholding member, Chartered Investment will participate in the governance and development of the RL1 network. The membership enables tokenized investment products created on the company's platforms to settle and move across a shared, interoperable network of financial institutions — broadening distribution reach and standardizing post-trade processes for its clients.
