Nicolas Bertrand, CEO of Komainu, said in a statement regarding the registration that “this is a key regulatory milestone” because the UK “remains one of the most important hubs for financial technology and innovation that will spur the convergence of traditional and decentralized finance.”
He stressed Komainu’s strategic posture to take advantage of the UK’s and other important nations’ developing digital asset ecosystems.
The Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) recently granted Komainu a VASP license. Komainu has been subject to Jersey Financial Services Commission regulation since November 2019.
Additionally, its European business was included in the OAM register in Italy, allowing it to offer institutional clients in Italy access to its digital asset custody services. Since 2021, Komainu has also made a point of being present in Singapore.

We are dedicated to providing a solid regulatory roadmap to support our growth goal.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism.
From Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
Around the world, readers can access the CryptoCaster’s paywall-free journalism because of our unique reader-supported model. That’s because of people like you. Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news and information, or not.
We thankyou for the on-going support our readers have bestowed monetarily. If you have not considered supporting CryptoCaster, if you can, please consider supporting us just once from $1 or more of Bitcoin (satoshi) or Eth, and better yet, support us every month with a little more.
