Archax Holdings Ltd: Archax Group to Acquire Spanish Broker

Finanznachrichten News

Extending its current UK regulations into EU in preparation for MiCAR

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2024 / Archax, the UK-based, FCA-regulated exchange, broker and custodian for digital assets, today announced it has agreed to acquire the Spanish broker King & Shaxson Capital Markets, Sociedad de Valores, S.A. (KSCM), to be renamed Archax Markets Europe, S.A. The completion of the acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approvals in Spain. This deal will allow Archax to extend its existing regulated brokerage, Multi-Lateral Trading Facility (MTF) and custody capabilities into the EU region, as well as add crypto derivatives to its permissions. These extended capabilities will also position the entity well for Markets in Crypto Asset Regulation (MiCAR).

KSCM was established in Madrid in 2019, servicing pan-European institutional clients. This transaction will see KSCM become a wholly owned subsidiary of Archax Group and extend its foothold in the EU region.

Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax, comments: "The Archax strategy has always been to expand its regulatory footprint globally, with the EU region being of prime importance for us, post-Brexit. This acquisition expands and enhances our access to permissions within the EU region, building on those we hold with the FCA in the UK. It also broadens our regulated capabilities-particularly in distribution and crypto derivatives-positioning us well for the upcoming implementation of MiCAR in the EU".

Marc Dodd, CEO of King & Shaxson, comments: "King & Shaxson is pleased to have agreed the sale of its Spanish subsidiary to the Archax Group. This sale will allow King & Shaxson to continue to grow and expand our core offering in international fixed income products through both our agency broker and UK MTF."

Cuatrecasas (led by partner Fernando Mínguez, with senior associate Carlota Tojo and associates Julián Ruan and Rosa Coloma) provided legal assistance to Archax on the transaction, and Ashurst Spain (partner Pedro Ester and associate María López Garayalde) advised K&S.
