Blockstream led a $75m Series B round in Nomura-backed Komainu.

Blockstream, a blockchain technology company, led a $75m Series B round in Nomura-backed Komainu, a regulated digital asset services provider and custodian. “We are delighted that Komainu is adopting Blockstream’s various technology streams to enhance its institutional service offering. This is testament to the fundamental veracity of Bitcoin-related technologies and applications and marks the first time that these have entered the institutional arena. I am confident this will be the first of many such use cases as the institutional community wakes up to the power of the Lightning and Liquid Networks,” Adam Back, Blockstream CEO.
