Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsOn June 6, 2023, OKX, a leading global digital asset exchange and Web3 company, announced a partnership with regulated digital asset custodian Komainu. OKX has now integrated with Komainu Connect, Komainu’s collateral management platform, enabling institutional clients to conduct secure 24/7 trading under segregated custody via the OKX platform.
Nicolas Bertrand, CEO of Komainu, said: “Our collaboration with OKX marks a significant milestone in our mission to deliver secure and compliant digital asset custody solutions. OKX’s global influence as a leading digital asset exchange, combined with our expertise in institutional custody services, is paving the way for a new era of trust and innovation in the industry.”
Sebastian Widmann, Head of Strategy at Komainu, said: “Komainu Connect is rapidly becoming a leading collateral management solution. This partnership with one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, OKX, demonstrates our capabilities in digital asset custody. Our focus remains on seamless connectivity across all parties.”

Komainu is a regulated digital asset custody firm established in 2018 through a joint initiative by Nomura, the Japanese investment bank; CoinShares, a European digital asset manager; and Ledger, the French hardware wallet manufacturer. Officially launched in June 2020, Komainu combines traditional financial services with cutting-edge security standards, aiming to provide secure and compliant digital asset custody services for exchanges, financial institutions, asset managers, corporations, and government entities. Headquartered in Jersey, it operates offices in London, Dublin, Dubai, and Singapore, and is regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) and the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
Launched by Komainu in April 2023, Komainu Connect eliminates the need for counterparties to hold collateral directly with each other, offering secure custodial services that reduce clients’ counterparty risk.
