Nomura said it is launching a new digital assets company to provide its institutional clients with crypto trading services.

The new company will trade and provide services across the digital asset spectrum including in crypto coins, stablecoins, decentralised finance — DeFi — and non-fungible tokens. The new company, which is set to launch later this year, has yet to be given a name.
