What Affine does

Affine Group, Inc. is a privately held consulting and advisory firm founded in 2016 by professionals affiliated with the London School of Economics think tank in international strategy. The firm is incorporated in Wyoming, USA, with operational offices in White Plains, New York, and London, United Kingdom, and serves a global client base spanning North America, Europe, and East Africa. Its core technology offering is the HDXe Platform, an enterprise blockchain solution built on Hyperledger Fabric that supports tokenization of securities, transparent payments, trade finance, AML/CFT compliance, and includes a virtual central bank capability for issuance of bills and bonds. The firm also developed Digital Doctor, an AI/ML-powered telemedicine platform launched during the COVID-19 pandemic with technology contributions from IBM and NVIDIA and academic hosting from MIT.

The company's revenue model is professional services-based, consisting of bespoke consulting engagements and custom technology development projects. Advisory mandates span financial market infrastructure development, renewable energy structuring and trading, carbon credit management, and telecommunications digitization. The firm reports approximately 100 advisory mandates completed since inception, with engagements ranging from carbon pricing consultations to big data pipeline projects for utility-scale solar developments. Customer segments include government entities (notably an East African financial services client), renewable energy project developers in emerging markets, and telecommunications consortia. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with the bespoke, project-based nature of the engagements.

Beyond client-facing services, Affine maintains an active R&D portfolio spanning frontier technologies including brain-computer interfaces, 5G/6G bandwidth slicing, AR/VR immersive experiences, neuroprosthetic devices, and blockchain-IoT integration. These research initiatives are positioned as long-term innovation bets rather than current revenue drivers. The firm employs fewer than 10 people and has no disclosed external funding, suggesting a lean, founder-led operating model with growth funded through advisory fees and project-based revenue.

Direct peers

• Tokeny: Tokenization platform for security tokens and on-chain asset management. Comparable to Affine's tokenization-of-securities advisory and HDXe platform positioning.
• ConsenSys: Enterprise blockchain infrastructure and consulting across tokenization, DeFi, and financial services — directly comparable to Affine's blend of DLT tooling and advisory services.
• R3: Enterprise blockchain/DLT platform vendor (Corda) for financial market infrastructure and capital markets tokenization. Directly comparable to Affine's HDXe/Hyperledger Fabric-based offering for tokenized securities and trade finance.
• Fnality International: Wholesale CBDC / tokenized settlement infrastructure for interbank markets — directly comparable to Affine's virtual central bank and tokenized bills/bonds work for the East African government.
• Digital Asset Holdings: Enterprise DLT platform for financial market infrastructure, including tokenization of securities and capital markets workflows. Closely comparable to Affine's HDXe platform and capital markets advisory practice.

Broad incumbents

• Chainalysis: Blockchain data and compliance/AML analytics platform serving governments and financial institutions — overlapping with Affine's AML/CFT functionality on HDXe and broader tokenization-of-securities compliance work.
• Accenture Blockchain: Large-scale enterprise blockchain consulting and implementation practice across capital markets, energy, and telecom. Competes with Affine for advisory-led DLT transformation engagements at much greater scale.
• IBM Blockchain: Incumbent enterprise blockchain platform (Hyperledger Fabric-based) used in capital markets, supply chain, and trade finance. Affine is a partner ecosystem member of IBM; they compete for similar enterprise DLT engagements at vastly larger scale.

Emerging players

• SETL (now part of Private): DLT-based infrastructure for issuance, settlement, and asset servicing of regulated securities — closely comparable to Affine's tokenization and virtual central bank focus.
• HQLAx: DLT-based collateral mobility platform for capital markets. Comparable niche focus on using distributed ledgers to improve securities/cash settlement efficiency.
