Architect Financial Technologies and Apex Fintech Solutions Sign MOU to Expand Derivatives Access
Architect Financial Technologies Inc. ("Architect") has signed a memorandum of understanding with Apex Fintech Solutions, enabling correspondent brokerage firms on Apex's network to offer futures, options, perpetual futures, and related derivatives listed on Architect’s American Innovation Exchange (AI Exchange). The collaboration will integrate AI Exchange products into Apex's platform using APIs, SDKs, FIX connectivity, technical documentation, and engineering support from Architect. This partnership aims to provide access for over 42 million end customers of Apex clients to emerging markets in compute and AI supply chain commodities. The agreement builds on recent developments at both firms: Apex recently expanded its derivatives infrastructure to include CFTC-regulated event contracts and prediction markets, while Architect acquired IMX Health LLC earlier this year. The AI Exchange is designed as a U.S.-based platform for trading all inputs and outputs of artificial intelligence, including futures, options, forwards, swaps on compute resources, inference capacity, memory, critical minerals, power, foreign currencies, and related equities.
