OKX Bahamas, Atitlan and Komainu Launch Tripartite Self Custody Partnership for Institutional Clients Seeking Bitcoin Yield Strategies
OKX, a leading global crypto exchange, has partnered with Komainu, a regulated digital asset custodian, and Atitlan, a UK-based crypto wealth manager. This allows Atitlan to trade 24/7 on the OKX platform while its bitcoin assets remain securely held in segregated custody by Komainu. This milestone for OKX reflects growing institutional adoption, fueled by demand for secure custodial solutions and increasing confidence in digital assets.
Komainu will offer qualified custody services and cold storage for assets held on behalf of Atitlan. The settlement and mirroring solution is a key advancement for large-scale institutional crypto traders requiring immediate access to OKX’s market-leading trading solutions via custody. Institutional traders will have access through OKX’s Bahamas-registered entity.
“This partnership advances our diverse range of institutional digital asset trading products by enhancing asset security, reducing counterparty risk, and strengthening investor confidence,” said Herman Loedolff, CEO of OKX Bahamas. “By combining our unwavering commitment to compliance and investor protection with robust custody solutions and innovative offerings such as derivatives and trading bots, we empower institutional clients with a secure, transparent, and reliable trading environment”
“The new “mirroring” service provided by OKX and Komaniu is a huge milestone for the asset class, finally institutional players can benefit from the attractive alpha generated from crypto quant trading without exchange counterparty risk. It allows us to offer bitcoin Hodlers a way to generate bitcoin yield via trading, much more attractive than current alternatives staking and landing, without exchange counterparty risk,” said Yuval Reisman, CEO of Atitlan.
OKX Bahamas operates under the regulatory oversight of the Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB), ensuring compliance with industry standards. We prioritize customer safety and transparency by maintaining robust internal frameworks that enforce stringent security protocols. This integrated approach cultivates a stable, secure, and trustworthy trading environment, enhancing institutional confidence through clearly defined safeguards.
