OKX is offering over-the-counter derivatives trading, meaning there is no counterparty risk associated with assets held on the platform, deepening existing partnerships with asset manager CoinShares and custody joint venture Komainu.
In June this year, OKX began working with Komainu, a joint venture between Nomura, CoinShares, and Ledger.
Sebastian Widmann, head of strategy at Komainu, said that in addition to handling the complexities of derivatives and swaps from a trading perspective, the companies involved have developed a standardized legal agreement that can be adopted by a wide range of counterparties. (CoinDesk)
