Nomura Holdings, one of Japan’s largest financial services companies, is reportedly considering selling its cryptocurrency subsidiary, Laser Digital, amid continued financial losses in its European operations.
According to Bloomberg, Nomura has held discussions with potential buyers, including financial services firm Marex Group. However, the company has not made a final decision yet and could still choose to retain the business.
This followed Nomura’s European operations reporting a pretax loss of 7.4 billion yen ($46.5 million) in the third quarter of 2026, marking their fourth consecutive quarterly loss. However, it’s not yet confirmed by Nomura whether Laser Digital was responsible for any part of the financial setback.
