PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Liberty Financial (“WLFI”) today announced a strategic collaboration with Apex Group Ltd. (“Apex Group”), a leading global financial services operating in 52 countries and servicing over $3.5 trillion in assets.
The collaboration will explore integrating WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin across Apex Group’s broad ecosystem for subscriptions, distributions, and redemptions of tokenized assets. The aim is to bring regulated stablecoin infrastructure into traditional fund administration services, potentially streamlining settlement and improving operational efficiency for Apex Group’s institutional client base.
As part of the agreement, Apex Group will examine pathways to make WLFI assets, including real estate and infrastructure holdings, available on the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Digital Market Infrastructure (DMI) platform, subject to applicable regulations and requirements. This collaboration will also consider making assets tokenized using Apex Digital 3.0 available via WLFI’s upcoming, consumer-friendly mobile app, a prominent feature of World Liberty Financial’s expansion strategy. The app plans to enable users to manage digital assets, connect bank accounts and wallets, and access on-chain services.
Apex Group will pilot a permissioned USD1 stablecoin with WLFI.
“Working with Apex Group allows us to demonstrate USD1’s tremendous utility within capital markets infrastructure,” said Zach Witkoff, CEO and Co-Founder of World Liberty Financial. “This collaboration accelerates our mission to make WLFI assets accessible at the most established financial services platforms globally.”
“Our clients are increasingly interested in blockchain-based solutions that deliver tangible benefits and cost savings,” said Peter Hughes, Founder and CEO of Apex Group. “This collaboration with World Liberty Financial lets us examine how USD1 and stablecoin infrastructure can modernize our platform and services, while providing the edge to support our clients as digital asset integration becomes standard practice.”
