Koine, a specialist for custody and settlement of digital assets, today announced it has acquired Recruitable Ltd (trading as “hireabl”), a pre-launch, fintech company with a scalable platform for automated client on-boarding.
Koine plans to make a number of strategic acquisitions of innovative, early-stage tech-based, IP owners in order to fast-track the integrated end-to-end services that its clients are demanding.
To deliver the best value for its shareholders, Koine’s executive team will use their considerable M&A experience to cherry-pick the best pre-revenue acquisitions.
Koine is scheduled to launch next month with its ultra-secure custody and real-time settlement services for digital assets for institutional clients.
“Koine has recently completed its second round financing and we are poised for launch and dramatic growth. With this acquisition of talent and technology, we are investing in the client onboarding experience, for excellence of our customer service and for rapid expansion in our client base. We are delighted that the hireabl team and technology are now within the Koine stable – our platform positions Koine to become a major institutional custodian of digital assets.”
“We are convinced of the business and technical synergies of integrating our scalable client on-boarding capability into the Koine global offering. There is massive client interest in the provision of institutional custody and settlement of digital assets. Clients and prospects are impressed at gaining the ability to increase their capital efficiency and reduce settlement risk through real-time interoperability with multiple global trading venues on the single Koine custody system. The addition of an automated KYC/AML/CTF platform as part of the Koine architecture ensures highly efficient and scalable client on-boarding.”
The founders of hireabl, David Grocott (formerly COO) and Matt Dangerfield (formerly CTO) have joined Koine to take up similar roles, adding further strength to its senior team.
