Komainu, the C.I.-based digital asset custody service provider that is backed by, amongst others, Nomura, has launched a collateral management service, Komainu Connect. The offering is live with a selection of clients, enabling leverage of their digital assets in collateralisation trades whilst they remain in secure, regulated custody, segregated and verifiable on chain.
Komainu Connect comes in response to an industry requirement to reduce counterparty risk by removing the need to store collateral with trading counterparties. To help mitigate counterparty risks, Komainu has created a solution that, via partners, facilitates 24/7 trading with assets held in custody. This allows clients to maximise investment opportunities whilst keeping their assets separate and secure. This is made possible via tri-party agreements.
