Apex Group has acquired a majority stake in Luxembourg-based tokenisation platform Tokeny, marking a significant step in its strategy to drive institutional adoption of blockchain technology in asset management. The deal follows Apex’s initial investment in December 2023, with plans to take full control of Tokeny within the next three years.
Tokeny specializes in tokenisation — the process of representing securities on a blockchain ledger — which has been gaining traction as a transformative solution for making financial products more accessible, efficient, and transparent. The move allows Apex to bolster its digital asset infrastructure and expand services across a broader range of institutional clients.
“Tokenisation is a foundational shift in how assets will be managed, distributed, and accessed,” said Peter Hughes, founder and CEO of 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.”
Luc Falempin, CEO of Tokeny, echoed the strategic value of the acquisition: “Expanding our partnership to now being part of Apex Group enables us to move faster and serve more institutions with a truly global footprint. We’re proud to align with their vision to deliver tangible innovation to the financial industry.”
The acquisition positions Apex at the forefront of blockchain-based financial services, as tokenisation continues to attract interest from regulators, asset managers, and institutional investors seeking increased efficiency and liquidity in capital markets.
