CoKeeps and Maybank Trustees Berhad have signed a MoU to explore and implement blockchain-based custodial and asset management solutions.
This partnership is in line with Malaysia’s national digital transformation agenda.
It supports the government’s Digital Economy Blueprint, which identifies blockchain as a critical enabler to enhance economic competitiveness, increase financial inclusion, improve transparency in public services, and drive innovation across key sectors.
Through the collaboration, both parties aim to develop blockchain-driven applications tailored to asset management, with a shared goal of strengthening governance practices and creating new forms of value in both financial and non-financial sectors.
CoKeeps will contribute its blockchain infrastructure, focusing on decentralised, scalable, and interoperable solutions.
Meanwhile, Maybank Trustees seeks to integrate digital asset management tools into its existing trustee services.
Suhanna Husein, CEO of CoKeeps, said,
“Malaysia’s commitment to digital transformation provides fertile ground for innovation. By working with Maybank Trustees Berhad, we can unlock new avenues for trust, transparency, and efficiency—especially in how assets are managed and transferred.
Our blockchain infrastructure is built with scalability, interoperability, and security at its core, and we’re excited to support the country’s progress toward becoming a digitally resilient nation.”
Nor Fazlina Mohd Ghouse, CEO of Maybank Trustees Berhad said,
“Recognising the shift in investment and wealth management strategies, we proactively adapt to the evolving financial landscape through strategic collaborations like this to enable innovative solutions for our clients.
By merging our deep-rooted expertise in estate administration and trust services with CoKeeps’ cutting-edge digital asset custodial capabilities, we enable a holistic ecosystem that empowers our clients and ensures that their assets – both traditional and digital – are safeguarded in a secure and regulated platform.”
