We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our partnership with Komainu, a regulated institutional-grade digital asset custodian, to deliver an upgraded off-exchange custody solution for institutional clients. This collaboration strengthens asset security while enabling seamless trading on OKX’s platform.
Partnership Evolution: From Initial Integration to Advanced Custody
In June 2023, OKX integrated with Komainu Connect, Komainu’s collateral management platform, to provide secure off-exchange settlements. The solution allowed clients to:
- Trade segregated assets 24/7 via OKX
- Store assets with Komainu’s regulated custody
- Mitigate counterparty risk through third-party custodianship
The newly enhanced solution introduces these institutional-grade improvements:
- Multi-Asset Support: Spot and derivatives transactions under one custody umbrella
- Auto-Settlement: Real-time P&L reconciliation between OKX and Komainu wallets
- Dynamic Collateral Management: 24/7 collateral adjustments via Komainu Portal
- Transparent Reporting: Detailed transaction histories and consolidated wallet views
