The Downfall of FTX - A Blessing For Crypto Custodian CoKeeps?

In the aftermath of the FTX collapse in late 2022, the crypto landscape isn’t as sexy and appealing as it used to be, now playing second fiddle to Generative AI and Chat GPT, however that doesn’t mean that innovation and development in the space has come to a halt.

After years of work, last month, the Securities Commission granted approval to Malaysian startup CoKeeps to be Malaysia's first qualified Digital Asset Custodian. A pioneer in the Malaysia crypto and digital scene, CoKeeps aims to lay the right foundations to increase digital assets adoption.

Today on Open for Business, you will learn about how this homegrown startup navigated the ever-evolving crypto industry and become the first qualified Digital Asset Custodian in Malaysia. More importantly, why is this their focus in the wide wide web3 world?
