Omnes has formed a strategic partnership with Apex Group, a global financial services provider, to tokenise its Omnes Mining Note (OMN).

OMN is an institutional-grade structured note backed by Bitcoin hashrate, to be issued and managed on the Base Chain, the Ethereum L2 incubating at Coinbase, using Apex Digital 3.0 for tokenisation, administration, and transfer agency services as a fully integrated end-to-end solution.

OMN provides non-US investors with direct economic exposure to new Bitcoin production measured in hashrate, the computational power used to validate transactions and produce Bitcoins, without the operational complexities of managing mining infrastructure, hardware, energy, or regulatory hurdles.

Issued as a secured debt note in Luxembourg, the tokenised OMN combines traditional financial structuring with blockchain enabled features, including onchain transferability among whitelisted investors.

Emmanuel Montero, CEO of Omnes, says: “Bitcoin mining is the only mechanism that creates new Bitcoin through protocol issuance. This is economically distinct from yield strategies that rely on redistributing existing Bitcoin.

“Through the Omnes Mining Note, we transform this operationally intensive production process into a structured financial instrument backed by industrial scale mining infrastructure.”

Peter Hughes, founder and CEO of Apex Group, comments: “Qualified investors can transfer OMN onchain and, over time, potentially use it as a form of collateral in permissioned lending without selling the asset. This enhances liquidity while giving Omnes a more scalable and globally distributable structure.”

Jesse Pollak, head of Base, adds: “Bringing a regulated debt product backed by mining onto Base is a huge win. It proves that onchain finance isn't just for crypto-native assets —- it's for real-world industrial infrastructure too.”
