TechFlow news, October 8 — According to Cointelegraph, digital securities distribution platform Assetera has formed a strategic partnership with Archax, a digital securities exchange regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The collaboration will provide regulated access to 91 tokenized funds for investors in the UK and globally, covering both physical and digital assets.
The partnership aims to address multiple challenges facing the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market, including regulatory uncertainty, limited liquidity, and technical complexity. Initially, Assetera's platform will offer tokenized access to money market funds from Abrdn—the asset manager overseeing £506 billion (approximately $662.4 billion)—with additional fund offerings from other asset managers to be added later.
Thomas Labenbacher, CEO and founder of Assetera, stated that Archax’s status as a UK-regulated digital asset exchange, combined with Assetera’s regulatory compliance under Europe’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) and the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), will help support regulated RWA trading.
