GCEX Adds Komainu for Digital Assets Custody

Digital asset prime broker GCEX has partnered with Nomura, Ledger and CoinShares joint venture Komainu to add to the list of custodians on its network.

Komainu says it supports custody for 34 native blockchains and 5,700 tokens.

“Komainu was the ideal partner for us because it is backed by Nomura, and has a strong presence in Europe and UAE,” says Lars Holst, founder and CEO of GCEX. “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.”
