Commenting on the deal, he added: “With this acquisition of talent and technology, we are investing in the client on-boarding experience, for excellence of our customer service and for rapid expansion in our client base. We are delighted that the hireabl team and technology are now within the Koine stable – our platform positions Koine to become a major institutional custodian of digital assets”.
Jason Mochine added: “We are convinced of the business and technical synergies of integrating our scalable client on-boarding capability into the Koine global offering. There is massive client interest in the provision of institutional custody and settlement of digital assets. Clients and prospects are impressed at gaining the ability to increase their capital efficiency and reduce settlement risk through real-time interoperability with multiple global trading venues on the single Koine custody system.”
