币界网报道：According to DL News on June 20, Paul Frost Smith, CEO of crypto custody agency Komainu, said he is actively seeking global acquisition opportunities to expand his business and transform into a "dominant digital asset service provider outside the United States." The company, a joint venture between Nomura Securities, CoinShares and Ledger, currently has custody assets exceeding $10 billion after completing a $75 million Series B financing in January. The company plans to fully expand into the Singapore and Japanese markets in the next 6-9 months, and the number of employees is expected to expand to 120 by the end of the year. For the European market, Komainu is applying for a MiCA license, but the UK's proposed strict regulation may force the company to exit the market. Frost Smith warned that excessive regulation may force "conservative and robust operators" to withdraw.
