Apex Group joins Hedera Council to advance institutional digital assets

Hamilton, Bermuda, November 11, 2026 — Apex Group Ltd. (“Apex Group”), a global financial services provider servicing more than $3.5 trillion in assets, has joined Hedera Council, contributing its expertise in fund services, digital assets and institutional market infrastructure to the governance of the Hedera public network.

As a Council member, Apex Group will help support the Council’s mission to maintain a trusted, secure and decentralized public network for enterprises and developers worldwide, alongside other leading global organizations.

Apex Group was an early institutional adopter of digital assets and became the first transfer agent and fund service provider to administer regulated securities using distributed ledger technology (DLT) as the book of record. That work opened global private-market funds to broader pools of qualified investors and established the firm’s approach: technology must solve a clear business need and deliver tangible value for clients.

Hedera is a trusted and auditable public network designed to support asset lifecycle events, compliance attestations and settlement coordination. Apex Group will explore opportunities to leverage the Hedera network as part of its broader digital asset and tokenization initiatives.

Marco A. Infuso, Head of Digital Assets, Central Europe, at Apex Group, said:

“Institutional tokenization will scale only when compliance is embedded throughout the asset lifecycle, not added as an afterthought. That principle underpins our use of ERC-3643, the standard for compliant tokenization. By removing technological complexity, we can give clients a seamless experience and the flexibility to hold assets in traditional or tokenized form, with consistent standards of control and protection.”

The appointment reinforces Apex Group’s longstanding commitment to digital assets through Apex Digital 3.0. The all-in-one tokenization solution enables clients to launch, distribute, service and manage digital and tokenized assets within a single ecosystem. Its institutional capabilities span tokenization, stablecoins, regulated transfer agency, investor identity, proof of reserves and digital fund servicing, bridging traditional and on-chain finance.

Mance Harmon, chair of the Hedera Council, said:

“Apex Group combines deep expertise in private-market servicing with a clear vision for digital assets. Its addition strengthens the Council at a pivotal moment, as institutional tokenization moves from experimentation to real-world adoption.”

Apex Group’s membership advances the Council’s goal of maintaining a geographically diverse governing body drawn from industries shaping the future. Council members work together to keep the Hedera public network secure, decentralized and enterprise-ready.
