Nomura Holdings, the Japanese financial services group, is reportedly considering selling Laser Digital, its cryptocurrency subsidiary. Bloomberg reported the talks on Wednesday, and Cointelegraph published its story on Nov 11, 2026.
Nomura has spoken with possible buyers, according to the Bloomberg report. One of them is Marex Group. No other buyers are named in the report.
The possible sale comes after Nomura's European operations lost money for the fourth quarter in a row. The report gives no price, no timeline and no sign that a deal has been agreed. It is not yet known whether Laser Digital will be sold, or to whom.
For anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. The report says nothing about funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on any of these four exchanges, and Laser Digital is not one of them. This is news about who may own a crypto business. It does not change the cost of holding a position.
