Binance Japan Exchange To Officially Launch In June With Legal Effort

According to the article, the exchange will introduce a new service called ‘Binance Japan’ after June and will provide more information shortly.

Individual users who register an account with SEBC will be unable to connect information with the current Binance Japan exchange, forcing them to go through the customer identification (KYC) process again.

Sakura Exchange’s existing Bitcoin service will be discontinued on May 31. Customers must submit a virtual currency selling order by 8:00 a.m. on May 26 (Friday) and a Japanese yen withdrawal process by 5:00 p.m. on May 28 (Sunday). Yes, any virtual currency that remains in the account after the deadline will be converted to Japanese yen at the rate in effect on June 5 and refunded to the registered bank account.

Binance Japan Exchange To Officially Launch In June With Legal Effort

The company is attempting to gain clearance and business registration from the Financial Services Administration in order to offer services as a crypto exchange.

Binance previously stated in November last year that it would enter the Japanese market by purchasing SEBC, a Japanese-licensed cryptocurrency exchange. In Japan, the foreign version of Binance has ceased allowing new user registrations at the moment.

Also, whether Japanese users will be able to use the global version even after the launch of Binance JAPAN, and whether Binance’s major issues, such as BNB, will be whitelisted in the future.

Last year, FTX, which gained notoriety due to its bankruptcy, established FTX Japan as a means of acquiring domestic exchange Liquid. It has also become a prohibited trend. Although the details differ this time, Binance’s domestic expansion is proceeding in the same manner as FTX, so users of the exchange’s overseas version should exercise caution.
