Komainu Secures $75M for Global Crypto Expansion

Komainu, a crypto custody joint venture backed by Nomura, Ledger, and Coinshares, has secured a $75 million strategic investment from Blockstream Capital Partners, funded with Bitcoin. This investment will support Komainu's international growth and the integration of Blockstream technologies like the Liquid Network, which aims to significantly reduce settlement times. Komainu plans to establish its own Bitcoin treasury and adopt Blockstream's AMP technology for automating regulated asset tokenization. The collaboration also sees Blockstream executives, including CEO Adam Back, joining Komainu's board. This partnership marks a significant step in the institutional adoption of Bitcoin-related technologies. The investment is still subject to regulatory approvals but is expected to bolster Komainu's service offerings and institutional client base globally.
