Nomura’s crypto custody firm Komainu has appointed Corinthian Digital Asset Management’s chief executive Paul Frost-Smith as its co-CEO.

Frost-Smith, who will assume the role on 1 May, will share the responsibilities with Robert Johnson who was appointed as the crypto firm’s interim CEO in February when Nicolas Bertrand stepped down from his position citing personal reasons.
