Komainu, a joint venture of Ledger, CoinShares, and Nomura, gains a full operating license from Dubai’s VARA, bolstering Dubai’s ambition to become a crypto hotspot. 
Crypto custody service Komainu, backed by Nomura, Ledger, and Coinshares, has received final approval from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) for its full operating license.
