DigiShares integrates Aptos blockchain to expand infrastructure for real-world asset tokenization.

DigiShares integrates Aptos blockchain to expand infrastructure for real-world asset tokenization. Apr 7, 2026 at 10:02 AM PDT Press Releases Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice. The content and materials featured on this page are for educational purposes only. DigiShares integrates Aptos to expand infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets. DigiShares, a leading provider of infrastructure for tokenizing real-world assets, today announced its integration of the Aptos blockchain onto the DigiShares platform. The integration enables issuers using DigiShares to launch and manage tokenized assets on the Aptos network, expanding the blockchain infrastructure options available to institutions and asset owners entering digital securities markets. DigiShares clients can issue and manage tokenized securities and other real-world assets on the Aptos blockchain while using DigiShares' full tokenization platform. The platform supports investor onboarding, compliance management, cap table administration, dividend distributions, and lifecycle operations, enabling institutions to manage digital securities from issuance through potential secondary trading. The addition of Aptos, which already supports tokenization activity from firms including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Ondo Finance, reflects DigiShares' strategy to support scalable blockchain networks increasingly used for regulated financial applications. Aptos is known for its performance-focused architecture, including sub-second transaction finality, and its use of the Move programming language. By integrating Aptos, DigiShares expands the blockchain infrastructure available to clients seeking efficient, future-ready tokenization solutions. "Tokenization is reaching a stage where scalability and reliability of the underlying blockchain infrastructure matter more than ever," said Claus Skaaning, CEO and Co-Founder of DigiShares. "By integrating Aptos into our platform, we give asset issuers access to a high-performance blockchain that can support global adoption of tokenized assets. Our goal has always been to make it easier for institutions to bring real-world assets on-chain while maintaining strong compliance and investor management capabilities."

DigiShares brings deep expertise in compliance-first tokenization and a proven client base, which strengthens the institutional toolkit available on Aptos," said Ryan Zega, Head of Structured Finance, Aptos Labs. "As more real-world value moves on-chain, having battle-tested issuance and lifecycle management infrastructure on the network is critical." As tokenization of real-world assets accelerates across sectors such as real estate, private equity, and infrastructure, financial institutions are increasingly seeking blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting regulated, large-scale financial activity. Adding Aptos to DigiShares' supported blockchain infrastructure reflects this shift toward high-performance networks that can meet institutional requirements for scalability, transparency, and operational efficiency.
