London-based Archax, known for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), has finalized its acquisition of Deutsche Digital Assets (DDA), a BaFin-regulated German firm managing $70M in crypto ETPs. The deal grants Archax access to DDA’s institutional distribution network and expands its regulatory permissions across Europe. This follows Archax’s earlier purchase of Spanish broker KSCM, reinforcing its ambition to build a comprehensive EU-UK digital asset infrastructure. The firm’s collaboration with Ripple, including the launch of the UK’s first tokenized money market fund on XRP Ledger (XRPL), highlights its focus on institutional-grade DeFi. With XRPL’s speed, security, and upcoming features like decentralized lending, Archax is positioning itself as a leader in the $16T tokenized asset market projected by 2030.
