Komainu, a crypto custody joint venture involving Nomura, Ledger, and Coinshares, announced a $75 million investment from Blockstream Capital to support its international expansion. This investment, notable for being made in bitcoin (BTC), is part of Komainu's Series B fundraising round. Blockstream's CEO, Adam Back, will join Komainu's board of directors as part of the deal. The funds will enable Komainu to establish its own bitcoin treasury and accelerate the adoption of Blockstream's technologies, including the integration of Blockstream's Liquid Network, which aims to improve margining and settlement processes. Back expressed enthusiasm for Komainu's use of Blockstream's technologies, highlighting their significance in institutional settings and the broader adoption of Bitcoin-related applications.
