- Apex Group and Polygon launched T-REX Ledger to keep compliance rules and ownership records aligned across tokenized assets.
- T-REX Ledger uses Polygon CDK and ERC-3643 to support compliant cross-chain movement of regulated digital securities.
Apex Group, which services more than $3.5 trillion in assets, has joined Polygon Labs and Tokeny to launch T-REX Ledger, a compliance-focused blockchain for institutional capital markets. The new network runs on Polygon CDK and is designed to support regulated tokenized assets across multiple blockchains.
The project targets a core issue in tokenized finance. As securities move across chains, investor eligibility rules, transfer restrictions, and ownership records can be split across systems. That creates gaps in compliance tracking and makes record management harder for institutions.
T-REX Ledger aims to solve that problem with a shared compliance layer. Blockchains connected to the network can settle transactions on their own systems while checking a common source for the compliance state, which ties the rules to the assets as they move across chains.

Apex Group plans to use T-REX Ledger as its default multi-chain orchestration infrastructure and aims to attract over $100 billion in tokenized assets by mid-next year. At launch, it will serve as an onchain transfer agent.
The network uses ERC-3643, a token standard built for permissioned securities. According to the announcement, that standard has already supported more than $32 billion in tokenized assets across more than 140 institutions. Members linked to the ERC-3643 ecosystem include DTCC, Deloitte, Fireblocks, and OpenZeppelin.
Previously, CNF reported that Polygon became the blockchain of choice for Franklin Templeton, a $1.7 trillion asset manager. Franklin Templeton’s FOBXX fund later grew from $270 million to more than $1 billion on Polygon.
Polygon’s Multi-Chain Compliance for Tokenized Securities
T-REX Ledger keeps investor registries, compliance checks, and transfer controls in a single system. Connected chains can access that information in real time without giving up control over their own operations. This setup supports cross-chain movement while keeping compliance records aligned.
The platform also uses OnchainID, an open-source identity framework. It links KYC and AML credentials to the investor rather than to a single wallet. If credentials expire or fail a jurisdiction check, the system can block the transfer at the smart contract level.
Polygon CDK gives T-REX Ledger a custom blockchain environment built for regulated market activity. The toolkit supports dedicated blockspace, custom controls, privacy options, and interoperability through Agglayer. That allows the compliance chain to connect with other networks without forcing them to adopt the same execution model.
Polygon Labs joined the project as a founding strategic partner. Its role includes technical infrastructure support, liquidity strategy, and market development. The launch also expands Polygon’s push into tokenized finance, where payments and securities rely on similar blockchain infrastructure.
The announcement comes as tokenized assets continue to expand across global markets. The companies behind T-REX Ledger say more than $370 billion in asset value is now onchain worldwide.
This month, Polygon introduced a new CLI toolkit that lets AI agents transact onchain without human intervention. The kit gives agents access to wallets, payments, swaps, bridging, and onchain identity tools.
