Julian Sawyer, CEO of Zodia Custody, stated: "This is a strategic agreement between SBI and us, a mutual decision. We each have other priorities, and they have different arrangements in place." Sawyer mentioned that SBI Zodia Custody, with Tokyo Financial Corporation holding 51% and Zodia Custody holding 49%, had been in discussions with the Japanese Financial Services Agency regarding local registration but had not made progress; before deciding to cease operations, the company had been "working and preparing an application" while Zodia Custody has "limited global resources."

It is a proactive decision aimed at achieving synergies within the group more quickly under our digital ecosystem."
