We’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Komainu (a regulated digital asset custodian) and Atitlan (a UK-based crypto wealth manager). This collaboration enables Atitlan to trade 24/7 on the OKX platform while its bitcoin assets remain securely held in segregated custody by Komainu. This milestone underscores the accelerating institutional adoption of crypto, driven by demand for secure custodial solutions and growing trust in digital assets.
Key Features of the Partnership
- Qualified Custody Services: Komainu provides cold storage and custodial solutions for Atitlan’s assets.
- Settlement & Mirroring: Institutional traders gain instant access to OKX’s trading infrastructure without compromising custody security.
- Regulated Framework: Services are offered via OKX’s Bahamas-registered entity under strict compliance standards.
