AMINA Bank, a FINMA-regulated crypto bank based in Switzerland, has partnered with Tokeny, a blockchain platform owned by Apex Group, to create a regulated infrastructure for institutional tokenization, the companies said Thursday.
The deal aims to provide financial institutions with a ‘regulated banking bridge’ to issue and manage tokenized assets such as government bonds, corporate bonds and treasury bills.
Under the agreement, AMINA (formerly known as SEBA Bank) will provide banking, custody and regulatory oversight of traditional assets, while Tokeny will provide the technology to convert those assets into tokens. The setup allows customers to seamlessly transfer funds between traditional accounts and blockchain-based systems.
Tokeny’s platform, built on the ERC-3643 standard, adds a compliance layer that allows only authorized investors to hold or trade tokenized assets.
Together, AMINA and Tokeny say their collaboration will shorten the time-to-market for tokenized instruments from months to weeks, laying the foundation for a more connected and regulated on-chain financial system.
