Our Co-CEO, Paul Frost-Smith, is in New York this week, catching up with clients, partners, and industry peers. The buzz around advancements in tokenisation and increased institutional involvement is self-evident. Last night, we attended a dinner hosted by Securitize, where we discussed our ongoing collaboration and some exciting developments coming soon. We’ve been working closely with Securitize and recently announced that we now support custody for BlackRock’s BUIDL Token. The BUIDL Token, representing the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, is a tokenised fund on the Ethereum blockchain, providing institutional investors with exposure to US dollar yields through tokenisation. This initiative combines BlackRock’s traditional finance expertise with the efficiency and transparency of blockchain, offering a new avenue for institutional investors to engage with digital assets while maintaining USD-based returns.   Through Komainu Connect, our clients can use BUIDL as collateral whilst trading with our partner exchanges and leveraging our full range of digital asset services. Stay tuned for more Komainu updates and announcements coming soon! To learn more about Komainu’s digital asset services, get in touch with our team: https://lnkd.in/dMHNT5jg
