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 on Thursday.
The deal is designed to provide financial institutions with “a regulated banking bridge” to issue and manage tokenized assets, such as government bonds, corporate securities, and treasury bills.
Under the arrangement, AMINA (formerly known as SEBA Bank) will handle the banking, custody and regulatory oversight for traditional assets, while Tokeny will provide the technology for turning those assets into tokens. The setup enables clients to transfer funds seamlessly 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 reduce the time-to-market for tokenized instruments from months to weeks, laying the groundwork for a more connected and regulated onchain financial system.
