Digital Securities Exchange
Driven by blockchain technology, efficient new financing and investment opportunities have arisen for companies which create new digital assets and tokens. The tokenization of real assets will be the next stage of this development. Not only will this release liquidity and create secondary markets for assets which are currently difficult to trade, but it will also permeate into the traditional financial markets.
FIRST FCA REGULATED DIGITAL AND INSTITUTIONAL-GRADE EXCHANGE FOR TRADING ASSET-BACKED TOKENS
Founded by experts from the financial markets world and backed by an accomplished advisory board, Archax is the first ever firm to receive FCA regulation as a digital securities exchange, custodian and brokerage. It was also the first firm to be listed on the FCA’s Cryptoasset Register as a VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider). The requirement for firms carrying out specific cryptoasset activities to be on this register was introduced in early 2020 as part of the revised anti-money laundering regulations (the “5MLD”).
BLOCKCHAIN AND REAL ASSETS ON ONE EXCHANGE
The Archax digital exchange serves as a credible bridge between the world of blockchain and traditional investments. An exchange which was developed especially for institutional investors to trade digital securities, and built using existing proven, resilient, scalable and high-performance exchange infrastructure, hosted in top-tier data centre space, and integrated into the existing institutional trading workflow.
The combination of traditional investments and the tokenisation of real assets on a global, regulated, digital asset exchange goes beyond merely creating new forms of asset management: it represents the inevitable future of an increasingly digitised world, the boundaries and diversity of which we can only guess at today. Digital securities and distributed ledger technology are streamlining and democratising global financial markets and allowing you to invest in asset classes that were previously illiquid or hard to trade.
