Apex Group joins Hedera Council to expand tokenization and settlement work
Institutional interest in tokenized financial products is pushing service providers to align blockchain infrastructure with compliance and operational controls. Apex Group is joining the Hedera Council as it evaluates the network for digital asset initiatives covering asset lifecycle management, compliance and settlement.
Highlights
- Apex Group, managing over $3.5 trillion in assets, joined the Hedera Council to explore digital asset and tokenization initiatives on Hedera's blockchain.
- Apex Group aims to develop compliant institutional tokenization using ERC-3643, allowing clients to hold assets in both traditional and tokenized forms under unified standards.
- The partnership advances Apex Group's push to integrate blockchain, stablecoins, and staking products into mainstream finance as institutional tokenization moves to real-world adoption.
Hedera role supports digital asset plans
As reported by The Block, Apex Group has joined the Hedera Council, adding its fund administration, digital asset and institutional market infrastructure experience to the governance of the public blockchain network.Apex, which oversees more than $3.5 trillion in assets, says it will explore using Hedera for digital asset and tokenization initiatives. The work under review includes asset lifecycle management, compliance and settlement, as more institutions adopt tokenized financial products.
Marco Infuso, head of digital assets, Central Europe, at Apex Group, says institutional tokenization scales only when compliance is built across the asset lifecycle rather than added later. He says that approach supports the firm's use of ERC-3643 for compliant tokenization and is intended to let clients hold assets in traditional or tokenized form under consistent control and protection standards.
Partnership reflects broader finance adoption
The Hedera partnership builds on Apex Group's existing efforts to bring blockchain infrastructure, stablecoins and staking products into traditional financial services. The move also signals a broader attempt by financial firms to connect tokenized assets with established servicing and market operations.Hedera says Apex Group's addition strengthens the council at a time when institutional tokenization is moving from experimentation toward real-world adoption. For the sector, that shift increases focus on networks and service models that can support governance, compliance and settlement requirements at scale.
