Goldman Sachs and Apex Group Ltd provide infrastructure for blockchain native real estate fund from LRC Group
Apex Group has announced its role in supporting a blockchain-native real estate fund developed in collaboration with Goldman Sachs, LRC Group, Archax, and Ownera.
The stack is notable:
• Tokenization infrastructure → Goldman Sachs DAP
• Asset and fund management → LRC Group
• Fund servicing → Apex Group
• Connectivity → Ownera
• Digital asset custody → Archax
➡️ Why this matters
One of the most persistent misconceptions about tokenization is that blockchain eliminates intermediaries.
In reality, tokenization often changes the role of intermediaries rather than removing them.
The blockchain may become the ownership ledger, but institutions still need:
- Investor onboarding and KYC
- Whitelisting and permissioning
- Compliance controls
- Regulatory reporting
As a result, fund administrators often become the operator of the permissioning layer.
As assets move onchain, these functions do not disappear. They become even more important.
In traditional fund structures, administrators, depositaries, transfer agents, and custodians form the operational backbone of the investment ecosystem.
In tokenized markets, fund servicers are increasingly becoming the critical bridge connecting asset managers, investors, and blockchain infrastructure.
