Collaboration delivers compliant access to tokenised assets as institutional clients seek blockchain innovation through regulated pathways
Luxembourg & Zug – 23 October 2025 – AMINA Bank AG (“AMINA”), a Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)-regulated crypto bank with global reach, has entered into a collaboration agreement with Tokeny (an Apex Group company), the leading onchain finance operating system, to create a regulated banking bridge for institutional tokenisation. This strategic collaboration addresses critical institutional bottlenecks by applying Swiss banking standards to blockchain innovation.
Through this agreement, AMINA Bank will deliver regulated banking and custody for underlying assets such as government bonds, corporate securities, treasury bills, and other traditional financial instruments, while Tokeny provides the tokenisation platform. AMINA’s extensive crypto and stablecoin offering also enables clients to seamlessly move on and off chain.
“Market demand for tokenisation is coming from the open blockchain ecosystems, and institutions need a compliant and scalable way to meet it,” said Luc Falempin, CEO of Tokeny. “By integrating AMINA Bank’s regulated banking and custody framework with Tokeny’s orchestrated tokenisation infrastructure, we provide financial institutions with a fast, seamless, and secure path to market.”
The tokenised assets market is experiencing explosive growth, with major institutions, including JP Morgan and BlackRock, leading adoption of blockchain-based financial products. This momentum is supported by accelerating regulatory clarity across the globe, from the US GENIUS Act to Hong Kong’s ASPIRe framework.
The collaboration leverages AMINA’s regulated banking infrastructure alongside Tokeny’s proven tokenisation expertise. AMINA provides Swiss banking-standard custody and compliance, while Tokeny contributes first-mover tokenisation technology and an enterprise-grade platform that has powered over 120 use cases and billions of dollars in assets. It has recently been acquired by Apex Group, a global financial services provider with $3.5 trillion in assets under administration. .
“In the past year, there’s been increased demand from our institutional clients for compliant access to tokenised assets on public blockchains,” said Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer at AMINA Bank. “Tokenised entities still face critical challenges such as setting up banking and custody solutions. There’s a lack of orchestrated infrastructure that connects with legacy systems. My priority is delivering this innovation through the safest, most regulated pathway possible, and we’re excited to partner with Tokeny to make this happen.”
The combined solution offers financial institutions end-to-end tokenisation capability with fast time-to-market measured in weeks. Starting with traditional financial instruments where institutional demand is focused, the collaboration agreement establishes the regulated infrastructure foundation for future expansion into asset classes where tokenisation can deliver greater utility.
Tokeny’s platform leverages the ERC-3643 standard for compliant tokenisation, the standard is built on top of ERC-20 with a compliance layer to ensure interoperability with the broader DeFi ecosystem. This ensures that, even within an open blockchain ecosystem, only authorised investors can hold and transfer tokenised assets while maintaining issuer control and automated regulatory compliance.
“The future of finance is open, and institutions now have the tools to take full advantage, without compromising on compliance, security, or operational efficiency,” added Falempin.
