Digital asset custodian Komainu has launched Komainu CORE, a new collateral-as-a-service (Caas) solution. Created for institutional clients, the service aims to meet growing demand from banks and hedge funds for secure, regulated solutions that support collaterised activities.

According to a press release from the firm, Komainu CORE will allow clients to accept digital assets as collateral “within a robust governance framework”. Clients can expect a “turnkey solution that simplifies product deployment while ensuring compliance and transparency”. Supported activities include trading, borrowing, lending, and settlement.

Komainu will act as an independent custodian, safeguarding assets and facilitating liquidation in default scenarios.

Features of Komainu CORE include collateral control through lock mechanisms; transparency through API integration and verifiable on-chain data; enforceable notices of exclusive control; whitelisted counterparty address management; real-time visibility of collateral coverage ratios (LTV); and full traceability for compliance and audit purposes.
