Komainu has launched its new Collateral-as-a-Service (CaaS) offering — Komainu CORE.
Komainu CORE is designed to meet growing demand from institutional clients, especially banks and hedge funds, for secure, regulated solutions to support collateralised activities, including trading, borrowing, lending, and settlement.
According to the firm, the service enables clients to accept digital assets as collateral within a robust governance framework, unlocking new opportunities for collateralised lending, trade finance, and other asset-backed workflows.
By leveraging Komainu’s full suite of collateral management capabilities, including technology and legal infrastructure, clients gain access to a turnkey solution that simplifies product deployment while ensuring compliance and transparency.
Key benefits of Komainu CORE include: collateral control via lock mechanisms, transparency through API integration and verifiable onchain data, and enforceable notices of exclusive control.
Other benefits are: whitelisted counterparty address management, real-time visibility of collateral coverage ratios (LTV) and margin thresholds, and full traceability for compliance and audit purposes.
Komainu will act as the independent custodian, safeguarding assets and facilitating liquidation in the markets in default scenarios.
Paul Frost, co-CEO at Komainu, states: “The launch of Komainu CORE is an extension of our unique capabilities in bridging Trad-Fi organisations into the digital assets ecosystem.
“Providing an all-encompassing trusted gateway that banks and asset managers can plug into is, literally, at the core of Komainu’s ethos.
“Institutions now have a secure and regulated path to unlock the value of digital assets as collateral, backed by our proven custody and governance expertise.”
