Archax - the first FCA regulated global digital securities exchange.

Archax is the first ever digital securities exchange regulated by the FCA in London. Targeted at institutions, Archax also has its FCA brokerage, custody and cryptoasset permissions.

Founded by experts from traditional capital markets and backed by an accomplished advisory board, Archax offers a credible bridge between the blockchain world and the existing investment space. The Archax team is used to working in highly regulated markets and has a deep understanding of the blockchain landscape and tokenisation too – as well as a vision of how to evolve them and open up digital assets to institutions in a transparent manner.

Archax’s solutions are built using existing, proven, resilient, scalable, high-performance infrastructure, hosted in top-tier datacentre space and integrated into the existing institutional trading workflow.

As well as listing global digital issuances, Archax is also developing its own range of liquid digital structured products that will trade on its exchange.
