Through this partnership, Obligate provides its platform “for on-chain capital markets, while Archax contributes its extensive service offering in digital asset management.”
As a first service, Obligate clients will be “able to seamlessly on-ramp from fiat into digital assets and utilize the UK-regulated digital asset custody services that Archax offers.”
Furthermore, the partnership will allow Archax to “expand its digital asset offering into private market securities enabled by Obligate’s pioneering platform.”
