Nomura weighs sale of Laser Digital as Marex emerges as potential buyer
Nomura Holdings is weighing a sale of its cryptocurrency subsidiary Laser Digital after trading losses pushed its European operations into the red. Marex Group has been identified as a possible buyer and is evaluating an acquisition, according to sources. Nomura launched Laser Digital in September 2022 in Switzerland, and the business holds regulatory approvals in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Japan and a preliminary U.S. charter. A late‑2025 market sell‑off hurt Laser Digital’s trading business, leading Nomura to cut crypto positions. Both companies declined to comment and no final decision has been made.
