April 27, 2023 - Digital Prime Brokerage GCEX today announced an extension of its partnership with Komainu, a regulated digital asset custodian, founded as a joint venture between investment bank Nomura, hardware technology company Ledger, and digital asset investment manager CoinShares. This partnership enables GCEX to offer staking services to its institutional and professional clients.
Komainu offers a secure, regulated, and compliant infrastructure for digital asset custody and staking services. Through this partnership, GCEX is able to offer its clients access to Komainu’s staking solutions, allowing them to earn rewards on their digital assets while remaining under secure, segregated custody.
GCEX CEO, Lars Holst said, “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Komainu, giving our clients access to secure and compliant staking services, enabling them to participate in staking rewards for digital assets. We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible service and this partnership is a testament to that.”
“Adding staking was a natural next step in our suite of offerings for GCEX clients,” said Komainu Head of Sales, Darren Jordan. “Offering custody alone doesn’t cut it anymore, the market demands more innovative solutions, clients require utility of their assets. That is why Komainu built a suite of services including regulated custody, staking and collateral management, and we are pleased to extend our partnership with GCEX Group to provide staking services.”
Earlier this month, GCEX launched new proprietary trading platforms for Crypto, CFDs and FX, XplorSpot and XplorTrader.
