Apex Group Supports Launch of Tokenised Real Estate Fund with Industry Partners

Apex Group Ltd (“Apex Group”), a global financial services provider with over $3.5 trillion in assets serviced, today announced its role in the launch of a blockchain-native real estate fund developed in collaboration with Archax, Goldman Sachs, LRC Group, and Ownera. The initiative marks a significant step forward in the institutional adoption of tokenized fund structures within the global real estate market.

Apex Group is providing Alternative Investment Fund Manager services through Fundrock LIS, along with fund administration and depositary services of assets other than financial instruments through Apex Fund Services Luxembourg, and bank account services through EDB for the structure, supporting the issuance, servicing, and ongoing lifecycle management of blockchain native fund units within a regulated framework.

The fund shares are tokenised using GS DAP^®, Goldman Sachs’ blockchain platform. LRC Group acts as manager, while Archax serves as custodian for the regulated digital securities and the first distribution partner. Ownera’s interoperability infrastructure facilitates connectivity between participants and distribution channels.

“Tokenization at institutional scale depends on trusted, regulated infrastructure,” said Agnes Mazurek, Global Head of Digital Assets at Apex Group. “Apex Group’s role in this fund reflects growing demand from managers and investors for blockchain native solutions that operate squarely within existing regulatory frameworks. Real estate is a natural starting point, and this structure demonstrates how on chain issuance can be integrated into established fund models without compromising governance or investor protections.”

By combining blockchain native issuance with established fund structures, the initiative is designed to enhance operational efficiency and transparency, while enabling potential future transferability and maintaining robust governance and regulatory oversight.

“Issuing blockchain native fund units on GS DAP^® enables investment in real estate assets with precision while unlocking more seamless transferability in the future,” added Mathew McDermott, Global Head of Digital Assets at Goldman Sachs. “This collaboration is another step in our journey towards furthering on-chain markets for digital assets.”

The launch also highlights the role of service providers in addressing two of the key challenges in tokenization: scalable distribution and ongoing operational servicing. Apex Group’s platform supports onboarding, transaction processing, investor servicing, and regulatory reporting across jurisdictions.

This initiative underscores the continued evolution of real world asset tokenisation and the increasing convergence of digital asset technology with traditional fund infrastructure.
