Apex Group, a leading global financial services provider founded in Bermuda, announced a strategic partnership with Omnes to tokenise its Omnes Mining Note (OMN).

Omnes, which is based in Luxembourg, said the OMN “converts bitcoin production into a structured, investable asset for institutional portfolios”.

The OMN is “an institutional grade structured note backed by bitcoin hashrate, to be issued and managed on the Base Chain, the Ethereum L2 incubating at Coinbase, leveraging Apex Digital 3.0 for comprehensive tokenisation, administration, and transfer agency services as a fully integrated end-to-end solution”, Omnes added.

Peter Hughes, founder and chief executive officer of Apex Group, added: “Tokenisation gives investors mobility and utility that traditional notes cannot.

“Qualified investors can transfer OMN on chain and, over time, potentially use it as a form of collateral in permissioned lending without selling the asset. This enhances liquidity while giving Omnes a more scalable and globally distributable structure.”

The OMN provides professional non-US investors with direct economic exposure to new bitcoin production measured in hashrate, which is the computational power used to validate transactions and produce bitcoin, without the operational complexities of managing mining infrastructure, hardware, energy, or regulatory hurdles.

Issued as a secured debt note in Luxembourg, the tokenised OMN combines traditional financial structuring with blockchain-enabled features, including on-chain transferability among whitelisted, or preapproved, professional investors.

Emmanuel Montero, chief executive officer of Omnes, said: “Bitcoin mining is the only mechanism that creates new bitcoin through protocol issuance. This is economically distinct from yield strategies that rely on redistributing existing bitcoin.

“Through the OMN, we transform this operationally intensive production process into a structured financial instrument backed by industrial scale mining infrastructure.”

Jesse Pollak, head of Base, said: “Bringing a regulated debt product backed by mining onto Base is a huge win. It proves that on-chain finance isn't just for crypto-native assets — it's for real-world industrial infrastructure too.

“We’re excited to see more builders bridging the gap between heavy industry and the on chain economy to make the financial system more transparent and accessible.”

Apex Group, which was established in Bermuda in 2003, has over $3.5 trillion in assets serviced and a global network of more than 13,000 professionals.
