Archax and XDC Network Forge Strategic Alliance to Revolutionize Tokenization of Real-World Assets
Archax, the UK’s first FCA-regulated digital securities exchange, broker, and custodian, has entered into a strategic partnership with XDC Network, an enterprise-grade Layer-1 EVM blockchain platform, to push forward innovation in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). This collaboration aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology, ultimately accelerating the adoption of digital assets in global financial markets.
The partnership will combine Archax’s regulated digital asset platform with XDC Network’s advanced blockchain solutions, empowering financial institutions to use tokenized real-world assets more effectively. By integrating these solutions, both companies aim to offer a seamless and cost-effective way to manage digital assets, while driving the widespread adoption of blockchain-based financial instruments.
One of the core benefits of this partnership is the ability to access Archax’s digital asset offerings through the XDC Network platform. Archax, a pioneer in digital securities, has recently expanded its platform to include money market funds from leading blue-chip asset managers. The platform’s robust infrastructure is designed to support institutional investors and provide them with secure and compliant digital securities.
XDC Network is built to support global payments and the transfer of physical assets, with a strong emphasis on scalability, security, and interoperability. The platform’s blockchain technology is particularly suited for enterprise applications, enabling businesses to tokenize a range of real-world assets, from securities to commodities. The latest upgrade to the XDC Network has enhanced its transaction capacity, now supporting up to 2,000 transactions per second, making it an ideal solution for institutional-level tokenization.
Keith O’Callaghan, Chief Architecture Officer at Archax, shared his enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We are thrilled to partner with XDC Network, a leader in blockchain and tokenization. Their cutting-edge technology and shared vision for the tokenized economy perfectly align with our mission to revolutionize the traditional financial market through tokenization. As a regulated entity, Archax is uniquely positioned to provide institutional-level infrastructure and services that bridge traditional finance with the digital asset ecosystem.”
Real-world asset tokenization has become an increasingly important trend in the financial industry. According to a report from Standard Chartered, the market for tokenized real-world assets is expected to reach a staggering $30.1 trillion by 2034. The demand for tokenized instruments, such as money market funds, is on the rise, as they offer fintech companies and crypto businesses access to income-generating assets that are also highly liquid and flexible. Tokenization of real-world assets enables these instruments to be transferred and traded on blockchain networks, bringing new efficiency and accessibility to global finance.
XDC Network’s Angus O’Callaghan, Head of Marketing, emphasized the potential of this partnership: “The XDC Network was built with trade finance at its core, providing a robust platform for institutions to tokenize real-world assets. With our network’s high performance and scalability, we can offer the perfect protocol for financial institutions seeking transparency and efficiency. Partnering with Archax, a trusted regulated entity, allows us to bring our shared vision of tokenized financial markets to life.”
Archax has long been a leader in the digital asset space, with a strong track record of innovation and regulatory compliance. In October, the company was honored with Ripple’s Innovation Award for its contributions to transforming capital markets infrastructure and advancing the adoption of digital assets.
This partnership marks an important step in the evolution of global financial markets, as the tokenization of real-world assets becomes a central pillar of the future of finance. By combining XDC Network’s enterprise-grade blockchain technology with Archax’s regulatory expertise and institutional-grade infrastructure, the two companies are poised to drive a new era of digital asset adoption, offering financial institutions the tools they need to succeed in the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and tokenization.
