Akemona announced the release of its Tokenization Cloud, a next-generation infrastructure platform that enables financial institutions and businesses to adopt digital assets at scale.

The launch comes at a pivotal moment in U.S. financial regulation. The SEC's recently announced Project Crypto aims to modernize custody rules and integrate decentralized finance (DeFi) into the regulated financial system. SEC Chairman Atkins strongly endorsed the right to self-custody of digital assets, calling it a core American value. The SEC Project Crypto also opens the door to regulatory clarity for decentralized exchanges (DEXs), balancing investor protection with innovation.

Akemona has created the Tokenization Cloud to prepare financial institutions for these coming SEC changes and to give them the ability to offer digital products that fully align with the emerging regulatory framework. Built as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), the Tokenization Cloud delivers a fully regulatory-compliant Digital Asset Lifecycle Ecosystem that spans token creation, issuance, settlement, trading, redemption, and reporting. In addition, Akemona offers Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications pre-built on the Tokenization Cloud, allowing institutions to deploy ready-to-use solutions or configure new ones tailored to their workflows and asset classes.

The Tokenization Cloud integrates Web3 APIs, smart contracts, databases, compliance frameworks, and orchestration services into a single secure environment for building digital-native applications. It provides the scalability and enterprise-grade security required by institutional users. By handling orchestration, security, and compliance at the infrastructure level, the Tokenization Cloud enables broker-dealers and fund managers to focus on creating and distributing innovative financial applications, including those for tokenized funds and structured products.

Highlighting the rising demand for digital assets across capital markets, Alex de Lorraine, Chief Executive Officer of Akemona, said, "The launch of the Tokenization Cloud marks a turning point for digital assets in capital markets. Financial institutions have been waiting for a platform that combines regulatory compliance, security, and flexibility in one environment. With the Tokenization Cloud, broker-dealers and asset managers can build blockchain-native apps to issue tokenized securities with confidence, integrate with traditional distribution channels, and accelerate the adoption of blockchain in mainstream finance.
