IXS
IXS
IXS is a licensed tokenization and settlement infrastructure for institutional real-world assets (RWAs), active since 2018 and regulated under the Bahamas DARE Act 2024, with US market access via IXS Finance USA and a chaperoning arrangement with an SEC-registered broker-dealer. It offers a launchpad for token issuance, a DEX for secondary trading of tokenized RWAs and vaults with exposure to US Treasuries, private credit and BTC yield, built on Union Chain, an RWA-focused L2. It is a B2B platform, not a retail end-user product.
