Bloomberg: Nomura Holdings considers selling its encryption business Laser Digital, Marex is evaluating acquisitions

According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, Japan’s Nomura Holdings is considering selling its encryption business Laser Digital Holdings AG and has started contacts with potential buyers, including Marex Group, which is evaluating acquisitions. No final decision has been made and Nomura may choose another buyer or retain the business. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Zurich, Laser Digital mainly provides crypto asset trading, asset management and venture capital services to institutional investors. Affected by the violent fluctuations in the crypto market, the company suffered large losses, causing Nomura's European business to fall into a quarterly loss, and management subsequently tightened risk control.

Even as Nomura considers selling the business, Japan is pushing ahead with the listing of cryptocurrency ETFs and a reduction in tax rates on related investment income, with the first ETFs likely to be launched as early as next year.
