Komainu, a regulated digital asset custodian, has completed a $75 million Series B funding round. The investment, led by Blockstream Capital Partners, is intended to support Komainu's international expansion and enhance its digital asset services. Regulatory approval for the funding is still pending.
The funding marks a strategic partnership between Komainu and Blockstream. As part of this collaboration, Komainu will adopt Blockstream’s Liquid Network, designed to significantly reduce settlement times for off-exchange margining through its Komainu Connect platform. A Bitcoin Treasury will also be established to manage Bitcoin investments provided by Blockstream.
Komainu’s collaboration with Blockstream aims to improve efficiency and scalability for institutional clients. The integration of technologies like the Lightning and Liquid Networks will enhance services related to Bitcoin. Blockstream leadership, including CEO Adam Back, will join Komainu’s board of directors, strengthening the partnership.
With regulatory approvals in Jersey, Dubai, the UK, and Italy, Komainu continues to grow as a provider of institutional-grade digital asset solutions. The Series B funding is part of its broader strategy to expand internationally while offering regulated and secure digital asset services.
