Finery Markets, a leading liquidity and institutional crypto trading infrastructure provider, is proud to announce its participation in ClearToken’s proof of concept (PoC) project.

Nomura’s digital assets subsidiary has invested in ClearToken, a startup that is launching a clearinghouse for spot digital assets, as institutional investors believe confidence in the infrastructure that underpins the trading process is a key enabler for growth.
