February 09, 2021
9 Feb 2021 — It was just last week that we witnessed an exemplary case of FinTech and traditional finance institution playing well together – the partnership between UOB Kay Hian and ecxx.com was formed.
And now in Malaysia, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad’s unit has announced to buy a 19% stake in Tokenize Malaysia, with the aim of building a digital ecosystem to offer customers a wide spectrum of financial products and services, including #digitalassets.
Being the largest independent investment bank by equity trading and volume and with the largest network of stockbrokers in the country, Kenanga is one of the top 3 Malaysian stockbrokers by market share.
Tokenize Xchange, an online exchange that allows trading of #cryptocurrencies such as #Bitcoin and #Ethereum, is one of the 3 licensed Digital Asset Exchanges by the Securities Commission Malaysia.
