Multi-custodian off-exchange settlement has arrived, with Copper’s ClearLoop and Komainu Partnership

Komainu, a regulated digital asset custody service provider built by institutions for institutions, and Copper, a pioneer in institutional digital asset solutions, are proud to announce their partnership. This new connectivity will offer Komainu’s institutional clients the ability to trade via Copper’s ClearLoop, creating a market-first partnership and new era for off-exchange settlements.

Through this partnership, Komainu’s clients will benefit from both regulated, on-chain custody provided by Komainu, and access to off-exchange settlement and rapid settlement times of up to T+4 hours through ClearLoop. Clients will benefit from bankruptcy-remote protection across the structure and trade lifecycle.

As the industry matures and institutional adoption rises, Copper is taking some of the tried and tested best practices from traditional markets in an effort to meet the growing demand of clients to diversify counterparty risk and meet the increased demand of investors. Since 2020, Copper’s ClearLoop product has been mitigating counterparty risk in partnership with exchanges, prime brokers, and now in partnership with Komainu - subject to legal documentation being finalised.

Both Komainu and Copper are committed to building the highest standard of digital asset safety without compromise. We’re very proud of this partnership, as we collaboratively forge the future of financial markets infrastructure.

“Together with Copper, we are bringing tried and tested best practices and infrastructure from traditional markets to meet the growing demand of digital asset participants to diversify counterparty risk,” said Nicolas Bertrand, Komainu CEO. “This partnership provides a best-of-both worlds scenario whereby clients benefit from Copper’s proven processes and connectivity alongside visibility of their assets via our on-chain, segregated and regulated custody platform.”

Dmitry Tokarev, CEO at Copper.co said “Our partnership with Komainu is a proud moment for us, forging ahead our shared mission to shape and secure the financial markets of tomorrow. This spirit of cooperative product development is imperative to spur industry growth, driving forward both technological advancements and trustful engagement within the evolving digital asset landscape."
