The introduction of Binance Japan follows the acquisition and rebranding of SAKURA Exchange BitCoin, Inc. New users in Japan will have access to a selection of 34 tokens for spot trading, including the debut of BNB in Japan.

Japanese customers with existing global Binance accounts can start the migration process to the new platform starting August 14, 2023, using a new KYC process.

Binance Japan’s offerings extend to deposit options for both Japanese yen and cryptocurrencies, with yen withdrawal availability set for after August 20, 2023.

The platform also introduces features such as Simple Earn, allowing users to earn daily rewards by depositing digital assets, and Auto-Invest, an option to “automate crypto investments over set intervals with a predetermined amount.”

The company has emphasized the localized nature of the new platform, designed to cater to the specific needs of Japanese residents while adhering to local regulatory requirements.

Despite leaving markets in the EU, Binance was able to obtain a regulatory license in Dubai on July 31:

“We are honored to be the first exchange to be granted an operational Minimum Viable Product License by VARA. Our priority is to operate this first fully regulated exchange in, and from Dubai, in a FATF-compliant ecosystem, setting the stage for global scalability with uncompromised user assurance.”
