GCEX Partners with Komainu to Expand Custodian Offering

The partnership aims to enhance GCEX’s offering of regulated custodians to its institutional and professional clients, providing an even greater choice of regulated custodians.

13 February 2023 – Digital Prime Brokerage GCEX  announced that it has partnered with Komainu, a joint venture between Nomura, hardware technology company, Ledger, and digital asset investment manager, CoinShares.

Komainu currently supports custody for 34 native blockchains and 5,700 tokens. Assets are fully segregated from both those of Komainu and of other Komainu clients.

Lars Holst, Founder & CEO, GCEX commented, “Komainu was the ideal partner for us because it is backed by Nomura, and has a strong presence in Europe and UAE. Our partnership with Komainu aligns with our strategy of only working with regulated digital custody institutions across the globe.”

Darren Jordan, Head of Sales, Komainu adds, “Working with GCEX aligns with our core values to offer institutional investors a regulated digital asset custody solution, while remaining a designated third party. With an increasing focus on counterparty risk, our partnership further reinforces our joint commitment to keep our clients’ assets segregated and secure.”
