Aptos adds support for Archax tokenization engine, debuts MembersCap fund

London digital asset platform Archax has teamed up with institutional layer 1 blockchain Aptos to power the tokenization of real world assets (RWA). This partnership will allow Archax to incorporate Aptos into its tokenization engine, allowing it to issue and manage regulated RWA on the Aptos blockchain.

MembersCap Tokenized Global Reinsurance Income Fund – MCM Fund I1 will be the first asset to be launched under this combination. Aptos will become the fund’s general partner (GP), marking an important milestone in the on-chain deployment of institutional-grade assets.

This shift shows that tokenization of traditional financial products is gaining momentum as financial institutions turn to scalable and compliant blockchain infrastructure.

MembersCap Reinsurance Fund becomes multi-chain

Archax recently launched a tokenized reinsurance fund in collaboration with MembersCap, a Bermuda-regulated investment management company. The fund aims to provide high-yield, uncorrelated returns through a diversified approach and multiple blockchain implementations. Dual subscriptions can also give investors the opportunity to invest in both fiat and digital currencies.

MembersCap funds are now supported on Aptos along with other supported networks through new integration. This growth increases accessibility for institutional investors looking to gain exposure to reinsurance-based income strategies on a regulated digital platform.

Reinsurance fund returns typically do not correlate with overall financial markets. Tokenizing such a strategy allows Archax to modernize access and improve operational efficiency without impacting regulations.

Bridge regulation and blockchain technology

Archax is a UK and EU regulated digital asset platform that encompasses a wide variety of digital assets. We provide services across the digital lifecycle, including token issuance, funding, trading, and storage. The company also has a particular interest in tokenized regulated RWA, which sits between traditional financial markets and blockchain-based capital markets.

Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax, spoke about the role of institutional engagement in driving tokenization.

Rodford said institutional involvement is needed to make tokenization mainstream, which means bringing real assets on-chain. We have the necessary regulations in place to deliver this, and we also need to work with top technology providers. One such partner is Aptos and we are happy to support their technology in our digital asset platform.

The consolidation is indicative of a more general industry movement where compliance and technology work together to pioneer large-scale adoption.

Aptos focuses on organizational infrastructure

Founded by the team that worked on the Libra/Diem initiative at Meta, Aptos is a company focused on creating scalable value transfer infrastructure around the world. The focus of the network is to provide high throughput, low latency, and better security features to meet the needs of institutions.

Ryan Zega, Head of Structured Finance at Aptos Labs, said the partnership is a milestone in institutional adoption. Zega added that the collaboration with Archax will be another important move in the expansion of institutional-grade RWA at Aptos. We are committed to building the scalable and secure infrastructure needed for financial institutions to leverage managed financial products on-chain.

Aptos could strengthen the case for mainstream financial integration by promoting regulated funds such as members cap reinsurance vehicles.
