We're Launching a Tripartite Self-Custody Partnership with Atitlan and Komainu to Empower Institutional Bitcoin Yield Strategies

We’re pleased to announce our partnership with Komainu, a regulated digital asset custodian, and Atitlan, a UK-based crypto wealth manager. This collaboration enables Atitlan to trade 24/7 on the OKX platform while its bitcoin assets remain securely held in segregated custody by Komainu. It’s a major milestone for us and reflects the growing institutional adoption of crypto—driven by the need for secure custodial solutions and increasing trust in digital assets.

As part of this partnership, Komainu will provide qualified custody services and cold storage for assets held on Atitlan’s behalf. Our settlement and mirroring solution marks a significant step forward for institutional crypto traders who require immediate access to our market-leading trading infrastructure—without compromising on custody. These services will be available via our Bahamas-registered entity.

“This partnership advances our diverse range of institutional digital asset trading products by enhancing asset security, reducing counterparty risk, and strengthening investor and regulator confidence,” said Herman Loedolff, CEO of OKX Bahamas. “By combining our unwavering commitment to compliance and investor protection with robust custody solutions and a wide range of innovative derivative products, we empower institutional clients with a secure, transparent, and reliable trading environment."

“The new “mirroring” service provided by OKX and Komainu is a huge milestone for the asset class, finally institutional players can benefit from the attractive alpha generated from crypto quant trading without exchange counterparty risk. It allows us to offer bitcoin Hodlers a way to generate bitcoin yield via trading, much more attractive than current alternatives staking and landing, without exchange counterparty risk,” said Yuval Reisman, CEO of Atitlan.

At OKX Bahamas, we operate under The Bahamas’ DARE regime and the regulatory oversight of the Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB). We take this responsibility seriously, prioritizing customer safety and transparency by maintaining robust internal frameworks that enforce stringent security protocols. This integrated approach cultivates a stable, secure, and trustworthy trading environment, enhancing institutional confidence through clearly defined safeguards.
