  • A exchange cripto Binance adquiriu a empresa cripto japonesa Sakura Exchange BitCoin (SEBC).
  • The leading exchange will re-enter Japanese market after four years “as a Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA) regulated entity.”
  • After receiving a warning for operating without a license in 2018 from Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA), Binance withdrew from the region.

o world’s biggest crypto exchange, Binance, has confirmed its entry into the Japanese market after four years of closing its services in the country due to regulatory concerns. The leading crypto exchange has successfully completed the 100% acquisition of Sakura Exchange BitCoin, a Japanese crypto exchange service provider, following which it can now enter Japan “as a Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA) regulated entity.”

Conforme anúncio, the financial details of the deal with Sakura Exchange BitCoin (SEBC) remain undisclosed but the exchange said that “Binance aims to support a responsible global environment for cryptocurrencies” by offering Japanese-regulated services through SEBC. Interestingly, this is the first license that the leading exchange has received in East Asia.

“The Japanese market will play a key role in the future of cryptocurrency adoption. As one of the world’s leading economies with a highly-developed tech ecosystem, it’s already poised for strong blockchain uptake. We will actively work with regulators to develop our combined exchange in a compliant way for local users. We are eager to help Japan take a leading role in crypto,” said Takeshi Chino, general manager of Binance Japan.

Além disso, é crucial observar que a SEBC é uma empresa de criptografia regulamentada pela JFSA e oferece aos seus clientes serviços de consultoria, além de seu serviço de corretagem. Atualmente, a plataforma possui mais de 11 pares de criptomoedas para seus usuários, que incluem BTC/JPY, ETH/JPY, BCH/JPY, XRP/JPY, LTC/JPY, ETC/JPY, XEM/JPY, MONA/JPY, ADA/JPY , XYM/JPY e COT/JPY, de acordo com o anúncio.

Hitomi Yamamoto, CEO of SEBC, stated that the strong compliance system of the world’s biggest crypto exchange led by Changpeng Zhao, Binance, “will contribute to building a more compliant atmosphere for users in Japan and help them access key crypto services needed for mass adoption in the future.”

After receiving a warning for operating without a license in 2018 from Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA), Binance withdrew from the region. However, Japan has become slightly more lenient in its crypto policies recently.

De acordo com um relatório anterior, a Binance admitiu que a exchange está em conversa com os órgãos reguladores in the East Asian country but refused to disclose details. A spokesperson said that the exchange aims “to shape policies that protect consumers, encourage innovation, and move the crypto industry forward.”

O primeiro-ministro do Japão, Fumio Kishida, revelou que o país vai promover serviços Web3 no Japão, incluindo projetos que lidam com NFTs (tokens não fungíveis) e o metaverso. Além disso, o governo emitirá NFTs para as autoridades locais que já utilizam a tecnologia para resolver os desafios em suas regiões. O primeiro-ministro japonês Fumio também sugeriu a possibilidade de digitalizar a carteira de identidade nacional.
