Binance entered the Japanese market by acquiring the local licensed crypto exchange service provider SAKURA Exchange BitCoin, Inc. (SEBC) in November last year. Since then, they have been working closely with relevant stakeholders and industry associations to prepare to build the Web3 ecosystem in Japan in a fully compliant manner.
The launch of a new platform dedicated to Japan residents (binance.com/ja) will be a major step forward in their mission to build a sustainable Web3 ecosystem in Japan. As part of this new chapter, SEBC has changed its business name from SAKURA Exchange BitCoin, Inc. (SEBC) to Binance Japan Inc.
At the time of launch, new customers in Japan can access a suite of services that consists of spot trading, Earn products, and NFT marketplace. Binance Japan aims to provide derivatives services in a locally compliant manner in the future as part of their effort to enrich service offerings in Japan. With spot trading, they are bringing 34 tokens to customers in Japan as a first step, including BNB (Build and Build), which will be available in Japan for the first time.
Binance is the world’s leading blockchain infrastructure provider, and are thrilled to offer our suite of services to new customers in Japan.
