Catenaa, Friday, April 11, 2025- Archax, a UK-based digital and traditional asset exchange regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), has acquired Globacap Private Markets Inc. (Globacap PMI), a US broker-dealer and alternative trading system (ATS) regulated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). This acquisition marks a significant step in Archax’s expansion into the US market, following its recent acquisition in the European Union.
Globacap PMI, which will now be rebranded as Archax Markets US, operates in the US private markets and facilitates primary and secondary securities transactions. Archax plans to leverage Globacap PMI’s existing regulatory permissions to offer its core real-world asset (RWA) products and services to US clients.
Archax’s diverse portfolio includes tokenized money-market funds, corporate bonds, carbon credits, and uranium. The firm aims to expand further by integrating UK equities and gilts into its offerings, with plans to add US instruments in the near future.
Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax, highlighted the strategic importance of the US market for the company. He noted that recent changes in the US government and regulatory environment have made it essential for firms in the digital asset space to establish a robust presence in the country.
This acquisition is part of Archax’s broader strategy to provide regulated tools and services for the global transition to digital assets, positioning the company as a key player bridging traditional finance and the digital economy.
