The French stock exchange Lise plans to launch an on-chain IPO for aerospace parts supplier ST Group

According to CoinDesk, the French Lightning Securities Exchange (Lise) plans to list aerospace parts supplier ST Group on its platform, which is expected to become Europe's first fully on-chain initial public offering (IPO).

Lise was authorized last year under the EU's Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Pilot Regime and is the first institution in Europe approved to operate a fully tokenized equity exchange. Headquartered in Paris, it has the support of French financial institutions such as BNP Paribas, CACEIS (a subsidiary of the Agricultural Credit Group), and Bpifrance. ST Group primarily produces composite material components for aerospace, defense, and space projects, with potential project revenues estimated at around €59 million (approximately $68 million) over the next decade.

Lise aims to provide a lower-cost and more efficient listing path for small and medium-sized enterprises, replacing the lengthy and expensive IPO process in traditional capital markets. Tokenization technology enables faster trade settlement and more efficient ownership tracking, and Nasdaq and NYSE have previously disclosed plans for tokenized securities trading.
