Apex & Omnes Tokenize Bitcoin Mining Note on Coinbase Base

Apex Group and Omnes have partnered to tokenize Bitcoin mining exposure on the Coinbase-backed Base network. The deal centers on Omnes’ Mining Note (OMN), offering institutional investors a structured product tied to hashrate-linked returns. In this model, investors gain exposure to Bitcoin production without running mining operations. The tokenized Bitcoin mining note is designed as a secured debt instrument issued in Luxembourg, bringing it under more familiar traditional finance regulations. Verified investors can transfer the tokenized Bitcoin mining note on-chain, improving liquidity versus conventional private notes. The notes may also be used as collateral in permissioned lending systems, potentially unlocking liquidity without selling the underlying position. Apex supports issuance, administration, and transfer agency via its Apex Digital 3.0 platform, aiming to scale the product while maintaining compliance. Apex also notes its large footprint, with more than $3.5 trillion in assets under service, which the firms position as an institutional trust signal. Base’s head Jesse Pollak called the launch a “win,” arguing on-chain finance is expanding beyond crypto-native assets to real-world industrial infrastructure. The announcement further highlights Apex’s growing integration with digital-asset rails, including its transfer-agent/record-keeper role tied to the Coinbase Bitcoin Yield Fund. Overall, the initiative spotlights tokenized real-world finance (RWA) as a route to broader access to complex yield products linked to Bitcoin mining through Base.
