Crypto exchange OKX has partnered with custody provider Komainu and asset manager CoinShares to facilitate round-the-clock trading of segregated assets to push institutional adoption of digital assets forward.
According to OKX, CoinShares will trade on the OKX exchange, while Komainu, a third-party custody provider, holds the collateral assets. This is done to mitigate counterparty risks, such as the other party failing to fulfill its part of the deal in a trading transaction.
