Nikkei Asia, a Japanese news outlet, rapor that the subsidiary company will be established abroad, but the board will start off seated by Nomura transplants while the company acquires talent in the Web3 and blockchain space.

The bank appears to be feeling mounting pressure to become more intimately acquainted with the burgeoning blockchain technology and digital asset industry.

The move to expand crypto services comes at an interesting juncture for Nomura.
