Apex Group Acquires Majority Stake in Tokeny to Catalyze Widespread Industry Tokenization Adoption

London, 21st May 2025 – Apex Group, the leading global financial services provider, has announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Tokeny, the leading enterprise-grade tokenization solutions provider. The transaction, which will see Apex Group have 100% control over the next three years, follows the initial investment and strategic partnership with Tokeny announced in December 2023. This process marks a significant deepening of the relationship as Apex Group commits to lead the institutional adoption of tokenized finance.

This strategic milestone, where Apex Group will now take a controlling interest in Tokeny, is a clear signal of the firm’s belief in the transformative potential of tokenization for asset managers and institutional finance. It also reflects a broader commitment to delivering turn-key digital infrastructure that simplifies and accelerates the shift to greater liquidity and distribution across geographies. Both Tokeny talent and technology will become part of Apex Group enabling an effective integration within the firm to efficiently meet client needs.

Since the initial partnership announcement, Tokeny has seen growing adoption of its technology and standards by leading financial institutions. Its chain-agnostic infrastructure has been integrated into Apex Group’s offerings and deployed to tokenize assets for clients.

Tokeny’s solutions have been used to tokenize over $32bn in assets, having created ERC-3643, the technical market standard for compliant tokenization. The firm offers a full suite of capabilities covering the issuance, transfer, and lifecycle management of tokenized securities, enabling clients to tap into new liquidity channels and enhance operational efficiencies.

The acquisition of Tokeny is a foundational step in Apex Group’s future strategy to lead the transformation of asset servicing by leveraging Web3’s blockchain technology, decentralized protocols, smart contracts and distribution to enhance efficiency, security and transparency.
