Due to launch later this year, the new digital asset company will provide institutional clients and investors with products and services linked to cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and other tokens. In a press statement shared with Finbold, Steve Ashley, Chair of the new company and Head of Wholesale Division, said: The new company will operate as a wholly-owned segregated entity of NHI, with dedicated capital and resources to accelerate time-to-market and ensure the pace of innovation required in the digital asset ecosystem. Specialist staff from Nomura will be integrated into the new company in addition to external hires. Today’s announcement follows the establishment of Nomura’s Digital Company in April this year. The Digital Company was formed following a reorganization of Nomura’s Future Innovation Company, with one strategic intention of building Nomura’s presence in the digital asset space.
