We’re excited to announce that Aplo, an EU-regulated prime brokerage for institutional investors and a proud portfolio company of Axeleo Capital (AXC), is joining forces with Nasdaq-listed Coincheck Group N.V.

This partnership marks a strategic milestone, combining Aplo’s cutting-edge technology, regulatory expertise, and high-performing team with Coincheck’s leading market position in Japan and strategic vision. At Axeleo Capital, we’ve had the privilege of supporting Aplo (ex-SheeldMarket) since their first seed round in 2020. From day one, Oliver, Simon, Arnaud, and Jacques shared a bold vision: to provide institutional investors with secure, transparent, and efficient access to digital assets. Their complementary skills and operational excellence quickly set Aplo apart in the rapidly evolving crypto market.

Since then, the Aplo team has built a industry-leading platform, offering its clients seamless access to liquidity across 300+ crypto assets and executing orders worth up to $1 billion — all while upholding the highest compliance and security standards. Joining Coincheck Group opens a new exciting chapter for Aplo. Together, they will accelerate Aplo’s mission to serve institutional investors globally by expanding liquidity access, scaling product offerings, and connecting European and Asian markets — while setting new standards for transparency, security, and efficiency in the industry.

Congratulations to Oliver, Simon, Arnaud, Jacques, and the entire Aplo team! We at Axeleo Capital are thrilled to watch this next chapter unfold and wish you all the best as you continue to lead the future of institutional crypto trading.
