The new digital assets company will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of NHI. It will have dedicated capital and resources to accelerate time-to-market and innovation. Specialist staff from Nomura will be integrated into the new company, as well as external hires.
The announcement follows the establishing of Nomura’s Digital Company in April this year. The company was formed after a reorganization of Nomura’s Future Innovation Company, with the strategic intention of building Nomura’s presence in the digital asset space.
Hajime Ikeda, Head of Digital Company, said:
Staying at the forefront of digital innovation is a key priority for Nomura. Digital assets and the ecosystem around them represent a generational shift in how financial assets can be created and used.
Jez Mohideen, the unit’s newly appointed CEO, said:
Establishing this new company is a critical foundation for us and key to building an end-to-end digital asset offering. The company will have top talent and business agility along with access to Nomura’s global network to build a top tier institutional digital asset franchise.
