Digital asset trading
Archax is a regulated digital asset platform based in the UK, EU, US and UAE, and targeted at professionals and institutions globally. Founded by experts from traditional capital markets, Archax supports all types of digital assets – from unregulated cryptocurrencies through to regulated tokenised real-world assets (RWAs).

Archax also covers the full digital lifecycle from token issuance and fundraising through to trading and custody. Archax provides the global, regulated on-chain capital markets infrastructure that allows traditional financial markets participants to bridge into the digital/crypto/DeFi space.

Applied Blockchain has worked alongside Archax to support the development and evolution of its digital securities infrastructure as the platform expands institutional access to tokenised financial products.
Solution
Applied Blockchain has supported Archax in developing blockchain-based infrastructure aligned with the requirements of regulated digital securities markets. This collaboration has focused on enabling institutional participation in digital asset markets, secure and scalable tokenised financial products, and infrastructure capable of supporting regulated financial instruments.

As part of this ongoing partnership, Archax integrated Silent Data to introduce hardware-enforced privacy into its public blockchain environment. Silent Data – Applied Blockchain's programmable privacy Ethereum Layer 2 – enables privacy controls on public blockchain networks, ensuring sensitive on-chain data is visible only to authorised participants. Through this integration, Archax is able to:

• Maintain the distribution benefits of public blockchain infrastructure
• Control visibility of transaction and participant data
• Support institutional clients with enhanced confidentiality
• Align digital securities infrastructure with regulated market expectations

This architecture balances the openness of public blockchain networks with the privacy standards required by institutional capital markets.

The infrastructure enabled Archax to make tokenised money market funds from Aberdeen, BlackRock, Fidelity International and State Street available on public blockchain networks with built-in, hardware-enforced privacy — the first deployment of its kind. This milestone demonstrates how regulated financial products can be brought on-chain while maintaining control over sensitive financial information.
