Apex Group has announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Tokeny, a leading on-chain finance operating system.
The transaction, which will give Apex full control over Tokeny within the next three years, builds on the strategic partnership established between the two firms in 2023.
“Tokenisation is a foundational shift in how assets will be managed, distributed and accessed,” said Peter Hughes, founder and CEO at Apex Group.
“Our strengthened partnership with Tokeny is key to delivering on our vision to be the infrastructure provider in the digital era of finance.”
Tokeny has described the deal as a “strategic milestone,” underscoring the firm’s belief in the transformative potential of tokenisation for both asset managers and institutional finance.
“In the last six years, we’ve built a robust tokenisation infrastructure and an active ecosystem of partners,” said Luc Falempin, CEO at Tokeny.
“But to bring tokenisation to scale, institutional distribution and credibility are key – and that’s exactly what Apex Group brings to the table. We’re proud to align with their vision to deliver tangible innovation to the financial industry.”
As part of the collaboration, Tokeny’s chain-agnostic infrastructure has already been integrated into Apex Group’s offerings and deployed to tokenise clients’ assets.
The acquisition of Tokeny represents a key step in Apex Group’s strategy to apply blockchain technology, decentralised protocols, smart contracts, and new distribution models to asset servicing, with the aim of enhancing efficiency, security and transparency.
