UK and EU-regulated digital asset platform Archax, has announced tokenisation of the Canary HBR ETF on the Hedera Network, transacting on the network itself outside of traditional market hours.
Archax facilitated the transaction on 27 November 2025 while the US markets were closed, to demonstrate the ability of regulated assets to operate on blockchain infrastructure in a continuous, 24/7 trading cycle, including market closures for public holidays.
CEO and co-founder of Archax, Graham Rodford, believes “tokenising the Canary HBR ETF on Hedera is a significant step forward in bridging traditional and digital markets”.
He adds: “This initiative showcases how regulated financial products can exist and transact onchain while maintaining the compliance and oversight expected by institutions.”
Gregg Bell, chief business officer at Hedera Foundation SEZC subsidiary, HBAR, says: “Executing transactions of a tokenised ETF on Hedera, including outside of standard market hours, demonstrates the real-world benefits of a distributed ledger technology for modern finance.”
The tokenisation and transaction of Canary HBR ETF, built on Hedera’s public network, is said to demonstrate the capacity of traditional financial instruments to be issued, transacted, and settled securely onchain with regulatory oversight.
