A report unveiled this news earlier today, noting that the leading brokerage firm decided to introduce this offering following high institutional demand. This development marks the latest move by a traditional financial institution into crypto.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Nomura will offer BTC non-deliverable forwards and non-deliverable choices settled in fiats. Cumberland DRW, a crypto trading firm, completed Nomura\u2019s first BTC derivatives trade this week on CME Group\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Albers, Nomura\u2019s Head of Foreign Exchange Structuring in Asia ex-Japan, commented,<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere has been significant volatility recently. Once the dust settles, valuations will become more attractive for institutional clients. We\u2019re pretty excited to get this off the ground\u201d as the launch \u201cmarks the start of our journey into the space\u201d for the global markets business.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Notably, this launch comes as the crypto market stages a comeback after crashing earlier this week. BTC traded as low as $26,350 this past Thursday. At the time of writing, the flagship crypto is changing hands at $29,457.70, 11.8% higher.<\/p>\n<h2>Nomura continues strengthening its crypto strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Nomura\u2019s BTC derivatives offering comes after the company announced plans to change its Future Innovation Company into a newly created Digital Company.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Nomura President and Group CEO Kentaro Okuda said,<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is an important next step in our digital evolution. Digital technology is a critical part of our strategic drive to expand our operations in private markets. The new Digital Company will lead deeper collaboration among internal and external stakeholders, accelerate our uptake of digital technologies, and enhance our client services.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before this, Nomura launched crypto custody services for institutional investors. The custody platform is Komainu, and it supports BTC, Ether (ETH), and a slew of other large-cap cryptos. Earlier this year, Komainu appointed former London Metal Exchange CEO Matthew Chamberlain as its new CEO.<\/p>\n<h2>Get an Edge on the Crypto Market \ud83d\udc47<\/h2>\n<p>Become a member of CryptoSlate Edge and access our exclusive Discord community, more exclusive content and analysis.<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>On-chain analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Price snapshots<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  <strong>More context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Join now for $19\/month Explore all benefits<br \/>\n<br \/><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\r\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"totafreearti-20\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\r\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\r\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\r\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"bitcoin\";\r\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\r\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"false\";\r\namzn_assoc_title = \"\";\r\namzn_assoc_rows =\"1\";\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/brokerage-giant-nomura-starts-offering-asian-clients-btc-derivatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese financial services company Nomura Holdings has rolled out Bitcoin (BTC) derivatives for Asian institutional clients.
