Apex Group has joined the Hedera Council, bringing expertise from a financial services business overseeing $3.5 trillion in assets.
The appointment adds institutional fund administration and digital asset experience to Hedera's enterprise-focused network governance.
“Institutional tokenization will scale only when compliance is embedded throughout the asset lifecycle, not added as an afterthought,” Apex Group Head of Digital Assets, Central Europe Marco A. Infuso said in a statement.
Apex Group will explore Hedera's infrastructure for asset lifecycle management, compliance reporting and settlement coordination.
“By removing technological complexity, we can give clients a seamless experience and the flexibility to hold assets in traditional or tokenized form, with consistent standards of control and protection,” Infuso said.
The company's Apex Digital 3.0 platform supports tokenisation, stablecoins, investor identity, proof of reserves and digital fund administration.
Apex Group previously became the first transfer agent and fund service provider to administer regulated securities using distributed ledger technology as the official record.
The appointment strengthens Hedera's institutional governance as financial services providers expand their involvement in regulated digital asset markets.
