Bybit Partners with Komainu for Secure Institutional Trading
In a significant move for the cryptocurrency trading industry, Bybit, recognized as the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange globally by trading volume, has entered into a partnership with Komainu. This collaboration aims to offer a secure and efficient trading solution for institutional investors, facilitating 24/7 transactions on distinct assets held in custody.
Komainu, known for its regulated digital asset services and as a custodian backed by Laser Digital and Blockstream, is enhancing its
Komainu Connect platform by integrating Bybit into its ecosystem. This strategic alliance means that institutional clients will now experience unprecedented flexibility, allowing them to securely manage their transactions while safeguarding their digital assets.
Key Benefits of the Partnership

- - Holistic Portfolio Management: Customized portfolios for each client allow for dedicated asset management, catering specifically to the needs of institutional investors.
- - Comprehensive Asset Coverage: There’s a growing range of institutional-quality assets available for clients, thanks to Komainu’s expansive network of market participants.
