The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange – Binance – will purportedly launch services on its new platform in Japan next month. 

The firm pulled out of the Land of the Rising Sun in 2018 after having a major dispute with the local regulators. 

  • Binance’s CEO – Changpeng Zhao (CZ) – has supposedly confirmed the news in a video conference in Tokyo on July 25 (as seen by Bloomberg).
  • The exchange previously announced that it will start operating on the Japanese market after June this year. It also informed that customers willing to join the venture will have to re-apply for account opening and pass all verification requirements.
  • It is worth noting that Binance acquired the local crypto platform Sakura Exchange BitCoin (SEBC) to return to the Asian country.
