What is Apex Digital's track record in crypto fund administration, and which high-profile clients trust them with it?
Apex Digital has been operating in crypto fund administration for 13 years and currently represents approximately 16% of all crypto fund administration globally — a market position that Angie Walker, Global Head of Commercialization at Apex Digital, describes as significant yet rarely spoken about publicly. Notable clients include Coinbase Asset Management, for which Apex administers stable coin Bitcoin yield funds, and SkyBridge Capital.
What makes this credential particularly striking is the contrast between its scale and its low public profile. While the broader industry conversation around Apex Digital tends to focus on tokenization and digital asset infrastructure, this deep-rooted crypto fund administration practice has been running quietly in the background for well over a decade — predating much of the current institutional enthusiasm for digital assets.
This track record is directly relevant to the firm's current positioning in tokenization. Apex Digital is not approaching digital assets as a new entrant; it is building on a foundation of real operational experience, live fund relationships, and a proven ability to serve major institutions in the crypto space. You can hear Walker and Tom Bennett, Global Head of Fintech at Apex Digital, discuss this context in full on The Single Source podcast.
"Distribution is king. Everything we do is actually all about distribution — whether that's distribution onto a chain or multiple chains, distribution to a centralized digital venue, a decentralized digital venue, or to an aggregator."
— Angie Walker, Global Head of Commercialization, Apex Digital
About Tom Bennett
Tom Bennett serves as Global Head of Fintech at Apex Digital, the digital assets and technology arm of Apex Group. In this episode, he appears alongside Angie Walker, Global Head of Commercialization at Apex Digital, in a joint interview conducted by host Brian as part of Apex's podcast series tied to a major tokenization survey report produced in partnership with Mergermarket. The survey covered 100 senior fund and asset managers across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, with respondents managing between $500 million and $5 billion in assets under management.
Bennett's role positions him at the intersection of financial services infrastructure and emerging fintech — precisely the vantage point from which questions about institutional crypto adoption and tokenization readiness carry the most operational weight. His co-guest Angie Walker joined Apex one year prior to the recording and oversaw a period of exceptional growth, during which the firm's active tokenization project count expanded from 31 to 557 — approximately 2,000% growth in a single year — underscoring the scale at which Apex Digital is now operating in this space.
