Komainu, the digital asset custody services provider, has appointed Matthew Chamberlain as CEO.
Chamberlain will be responsible for the continued growth of the company, as it further develops its platform to offer a range of services for institutions looking to expand and establish their digital asset footprint.
Since 2017, Chamberlain has served as CEO of the London Metal Exchange, the world centre for industrial metals trading.
Prior to serving as CEO of the London Metal Exchange, Chamberlain also held several senior roles with the exchange including head of strategy and implementation, head of business development and chief operating officer.
Prior to the London Metal Exchange, Chamberlain was a director at UBS.
Komainu was established in 2018 as a joint venture between global investment bank Nomura, digital asset security firm Ledger, and digital asset investment house CoinShares, to provide institutions with secure and compliant custody solutions for digital assets investments.
The organisation draws on expertise from banking, fund management and cyber-security to provide regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering and insurance solutions.
Commenting on his appointment, Chamberlain says: “I have always been passionate about building safe and efficient solutions to ensure global markets function as effectively as possible. With its regulated institutional custody platform for cryptocurrencies and broader digital assets, Komainu’s hybrid servicing model combines the best of traditional and decentralised finance, and truly represents the natural evolution of our industry.”
