Nomura Holdings has held talks with potential buyers, including Marex Group, about selling its crypto subsidiary Laser Digital, Bloomberg reported. Nomura has made no final decision and could keep the business.
Nomura’s European businesses recorded a pretax loss of 7.4 billion yen ($46.5 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2026, their fourth straight quarterly loss. Nomura did not disclose whether Switzerland-based Laser Digital contributed to that result. Laser Digital Japan recently received a crypto exchange license, while a proposed U.S. trust bank received only preliminary approval in May.
