最新报道:According to a report from Coinnet, Zodia Custody, a digital asset storage company backed by Standard Chartered Bank, has reconsidered its joint venture in Japan with SBI Holdings Inc., two years after its launch. Zodia Custody CEO Julian Sawyer stated, "This was a strategic consensus reached between SBI and us, and a mutual decision. We each have other priorities, and they have other priorities." Sawyer stated that SBI Zodia Custody, which is 51% owned by Tokyo Financial Corporation and 49% owned by Zodia Custody, had been in discussions with the Japanese Financial Services Agency regarding a local registration application but had not yet moved forward. Prior to the decision to terminate operations, the company had been "working on and preparing for the application," and that Zodia Custody had "limited resources available globally." SBI Holdings spokesperson Kosuke Kitamura stated, "This dissolution does not represent a retreat from our custody business or our Asia strategy. It is a proactive decision aimed at accelerating the realization of synergies within the group within our digital ecosystem."
