Apex Clearing
This corporation is an independent joint-venture between Penson Financial Services and Peak6 Investments. Apex aims to increase market stability by curtailing the risk exposure of both Peak6 Investments and Penson Financial Services.

“Demand continues to surge for crypto, and Apex is meeting the needs of tech-savvy investors by providing the seamless investing experience they want and expect,” he also added that; “We are helping our clients break down barriers to provide the speed, efficiency and flexibility they need to serve the next generation of investors.”
Reasons for the Formation of Apex Clearing

Investors in Apex Crypto will be able to access market data and quotes with unique statements, transparent pricing, and confirmations for their digital assets.
By creating Apex Crypto, the company clearing hopes to streamline the investing process in digital and traditional assets.
Apex Crypto’s Legalities
Due to regulatory and legal reasons, digital assets in the possession of Apex Crypto investors will be separate from “traditional” Apex Clearing assets.
