Deribit and Komainu Partner for Institutional Custody Crypto Trading Services

Deribit, the crypto derivatives exchange acquired by Coinbase earlier this year, announced it is partnering with digital asset custodian Komainu to provide institutions with the ability to continuously trade without moving assets out of custody. The agreement connects Deribit with Komainu Connect, a platform that manages collateral between trading venues and custodians. Institutional clients can now fully hold their funds in Komainu's regulated custody structure while trading on Deribit. This move aims to reduce counterparty and settlement risks, a long-standing concern among professional cryptocurrency traders.
