Komainu Adds Yield Generating Platform to Custody Solutions

Published

3 years ago

on

February 8, 2022

By

Wladimir P.

 

Komainu (“the Company”), a regulated digital asset custody services provider built by institutions for institutions, today announced the launch of Komainu Yield. Komainu Yield gives institutions the ability to earn yield on assets custodied with Komainu, lowering the opportunity cost of utilizing Komainu’s industry-leading custody solution. Komainu Yield adds utility to the Company’s current and future offerings while also further bridging the gap between traditional custody services and the DeFi ecosystem. Komainu Yield is already live with initial clients, and is now being extended to new custody clients.

Henson Orser, President of Komainu stated, “The presence of digital assets within the financial landscape will only continue to grow, and through Komainu Yield, we have laid the foundation to offer institutions additional methods to gain further exposure to digital assets, while adhering to the strict security standards that is commonplace in traditional finance. As more blockchains move towards the Proof of Stake model, the act of staking will only play a larger role within the crypto ecosystem. We have created Komainu Yield and launched it with staking services to provide institutions with a secure and transparent method to receive returns on custodied assets simply by choosing to work with Komainu.”

Komainu will stake assets held in custody, enabling the Company’s institutional clients to participate in securing and validating blockchain networks and earn yield through the process. Thus, crypto investors can earn a protocol yield, whilst ensuring the staked assets continuously remain secure through the regulated custody solution. At launch, Komainu Yield will offer staking services for several leading digital asset protocols and expand asset support throughout 2022 to become the leading custodial staking provider for institutions. Staking is the first of a suite of yield-enhancing services that Komainu plans to add throughout 2022.

Sebastian Widmann, Head of Strategy at Komainu said, “Komainu Yield will significantly reduce the opportunity cost of institutions holding digital assets, and we expect institutional interest in yield-enhancing services such as staking to continue to proliferate throughout 2022 as we further expand our offering to new and existing clients.”

The first institution to utilize the Company’s Komainu Yield platform is CoinShares (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: CS; US OTCQX: CNSRF), who is using Komainu to custody and stake its newest ETP offerings, CoinShares Physical Staked Tezos and CoinShares Physical Staked Polkadot.1

CoinShares Chief Revenue Officer, Frank Spiteri, commented on today’s news, “At CoinShares, we saw a need in the marketplace for institutional-grade custody solutions in the digital asset space and worked with our partners, Nomura and Ledger, to establish Komainu. Since then, CoinShares has been able to assure investors who utilize our ETPs to gain exposure to digital assets, that their funds are in safe hands. Throughout 2021, we have seen great interest from clients in using staking as a means to passively profit on crypto investments and to provide investors with the quality of product they have come to associate with the CoinShares brand, it was the obvious choice to use Komainu as the custody provider for our new line of staking ETPs.”

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – May 21, 2025

Published

May 21, 2025

In an era defined by rapid innovation and regulatory shifts, today’s blockchain briefing spotlights five pivotal developments: enterprise-grade data integration, municipal crypto pilots, state-level policy hearings, AI-powered token growth, and secure communications on a public ledger. Across these stories, three key trends emerge:

  1. Enterprise Adoption & Data Integration

  2. Government Experimentation & Oversight

  3. AI & Security Innovations in Crypto

Below, we dissect each story’s essence, unpack its broader implications, and offer opinion-driven insight for Web3 stakeholders.


1. Space and Time Joins Forces with Microsoft Fabric

On May 20, 2025, Space and Time Labs (SXT)—a zero-knowledge data platform backed by Microsoft’s M12 Ventures—announced integration of its multichain index (Bitcoin, Sui, Ethereum) into Microsoft Fabric’s OneLake environment. This partnership delivers real-time, verifiable blockchain data directly within Azure, enabling developers and enterprises to build data-driven Web3 and AI applications without custom pipelines.

Opinion: Embedding verifiable on-chain data into mainstream analytics tools marks a watershed moment. As traditional enterprises crave decentralized insights, Fabric’s native access to SXT’s ZK-proven data could accelerate blockchain analytics, foster hybrid cloud-Web3 solutions, and reduce vendor lock-in. Expect more legacy tech giants to pursue similar alliances.


2. New York City Eyes Crypto for Taxes & Records

Source: DL News

Mayor Eric Adams revealed plans to form a Digital Assets Advisory Council to explore crypto-based payments for municipal services, including taxes, birth/death certificates, and land records. While specifics remain under wraps, Adams highlighted zero-knowledge proofs as a privacy-preserving tool for public documentation on distributed ledgers.

Opinion: New York’s initiative signals growing municipal appetite for blockchain beyond investments. By potentially accepting tax payments in crypto and securing vital records on-chain, NYC could pioneer use cases that blend transparency with privacy. However, pilot programs must rigorously address volatility, regulatory compliance, and digital inclusion to avoid disenfranchising underserved communities.

3. Wyoming Committee Explores Blockchain, AI & Right-to-Repair

Source: Wyoming Public Media

During its first interim meeting (May 14–15, Jackson Hole), Wyoming’s Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology and Digital Innovation reviewed the state’s proposed Wyoming Stable Token—tethered 1:1 to USD—and examined AI governance and right-to-repair legislation. The Stable Token Commission anticipates a July 4 alpha launch, while lawmakers debated CBDC distinctions, tokenized real-world assets, and consumer repair rights.

Opinion: Wyoming continues to cement its reputation as a blockchain haven. Explicit carve-outs distinguishing stablecoins from CBDCs, coupled with regulatory sandboxes for AI and repair laws, underscore a holistic approach to innovation. Other states should monitor Wyoming’s alpha testing outcomes to inform balanced policy frameworks that nurture Web3 while safeguarding consumer interests.


4. AI Tokens Surge in Crypto’s New Tango

Source: The Economic Times

Himanshi Lohchab reports that AI-centric utility tokens—built to autonomously execute services like compute renting (Render), predictive analytics (SingularityNET), and data marketplaces (Ocean Protocol)—have seen market caps soar from $2.7 billion to nearly $30 billion within a year. Key players include Near Protocol’s AI modules, ICP, The Graph, and emerging AI agents that generate revenue per usage. Institutional interest from Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity further validates the trend.

Opinion: The AI-blockchain convergence is no fleeting fad. AI tokens promise programmable revenue streams and decentralized toolchains, but they also introduce autonomous risk vectors—buggy smart contracts, accountability gaps, and regulatory ambiguity. Security audits, standardized interoperability protocols, and clear legal frameworks will be crucial to sustain investor confidence.


5. BSV Association Selects Binarii Labs for Secure Communications

Source: CoinGeek (via PRNewswire)

The BSV Association has designated Binarii Labs to implement BinariiDSM, an encrypted file exchange and messaging suite that logs proofs of record on the BSV blockchain. This integration ensures immutable audit trails, data resilience, and end-to-end confidentiality for enterprises seeking verifiable trust without centralized intermediaries.

Opinion: As data privacy regulations tighten globally, blockchain-anchored communication platforms like BinariiDSM offer a compelling alternative to legacy VPNs and secure email. By immutably recording metadata on-chain, organizations can demonstrate compliance, simplify audits, and deter insider threats. Look for BSV’s secure-messaging model to inspire similar offerings on other smart-contract platforms.


Conclusion: Navigating a Dynamic Blockchain Frontier

Today’s stories reaffirm that blockchain is no longer an experimental niche—it’s permeating analytics, public services, legislative agendas, tokenomics, and secure communications. To thrive:

  • Forge Strategic Alliances: Enterprises should partner with ZK and data-fabric innovators to embed blockchain insights into their analytics stacks.

  • Pilot Pragmatically: Municipalities must balance visionary crypto use cases with compliance, volatility management, and equitable access.

  • Craft Balanced Policy: States can emulate Wyoming’s sandbox approach—distinguishing stablecoins from CBDCs, while addressing AI and repair rights.

  • Secure the Autonomous Agent Era: As AI tokens multiply, enforce rigorous security audits and interoperability standards.

  • Leverage On-Chain Trust: Consider blockchain-anchored communications for immutable audit trails and enhanced data resilience.

By embracing these actions, organizations and policymakers can harness blockchain’s transformative power while mitigating emerging risks.
