The partnership with Komainu will enhance GCEX’s offering of regulated custodians to its institutional and professional clients.
GCEX is a licenced digital prime brokerage that was established in 2018.
By working with Komainu, GCEX will be able to increase the scope of its custodial services.
GCEX, a digital prime brokerage that provides institutional clients with foreign exchange (FX) and cryptocurrency services, has announced its newest collaboration with Komainu, a cooperation between Nomura and two major digital assets firms. GCEX will now give its clients a wider selection of regulated custodians thanks to the alliance, which was announced on Monday.
GCEX and Komainu Form New Partnership
In accordance with the news release provided to Finance Magnates, Nomura, CoinShares, a manager of digital asset investments, and Ledger, a maker of crypto hardware technology, joined together to develop Komainu. Komainu will assist GCEX in expanding its support for the 5,700 tokens that are now supported across 34 native blockchains and enhancing its present offering.
Komainu works to improve GCEX’s selection of regulated custodians by ensuring that the assets owned by the company and its clients are completely segregated. The joint venture has offices in Siganpur, Dubai, Dublin, and London in addition to its Jersey headquarters.
“Because Komainu is supported by Nomura and is well-known in Europe and the United Arab Emirates, it was the perfect partner for us. Our collaboration with Komainu is in line with our policy of only cooperating with reputable digital custody companies worldwide “The CEO and Founder of GCEX, Lars Holst, made a statement.
Professionals in the market, including as institutional traders, hedge funds, and brokers, may access substantial liquidity in the cryptocurrency markets thanks to GCEX. Additionally, it provides technological solutions like “Crypto in a BoX,” a plug-and-play modular trading instrument that integrates fund security, regulation, custody, technology, and tier 1 liquidity.
