Binance Breaks New Ground with Japan Launch, BNB Token to Take Center Stage

Binance Japan has announced plans to initiate a crypto asset exchange service this month, boasting the country’s largest assortment of virtual currencies. The company will list 34 cryptocurrency brands, outstripping major local competitors like Bitbank, GMO Coin, and Coincheck, according to a CoinPost post.

BNB Token To Debut In Japan

The cryptocurrency behemoth’s “Build and Build (BNB)” exchange token, a native token of the BNB chain with broad usage on the Binance exchange, will launch in the Japanese market. The creation of this coin demonstrates Binance’s strategic goal to target seasoned users.

A variety of decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web 3-based blockchain-based game stocks, such as Solana (SOL), Aster (ASTR), Avalanche (AVAX), Jasmy (JASMY), and Axie (AXS), will be included in the cryptocurrency choices on sale. Domestic unlisted concerns that are not already managed by other exchanges are still being considered, despite not being included in the most recent notification.

Binance Japan will not allow leveraged trading, which often entails using margins to purchase and sell assets repeatedly. This is a divergence from several of its rivals. Binance would need to meet stringent requirements to obtain a “Type 1 Financial Instruments Business” license to offer this service in Japan.

Binance Japan will provide “Simple Earn (credit crypto assets)” and an NFT Marketplace in addition to spot trading and asset sales, allowing users to deposit their crypto assets and earn income. Auto-invest and API connectivity are additional features made to accommodate the various requirements of traders and investors.

Binance To Set The Japan Crypto Market

The announcement was made at the WebX conference when Binance Holdings CEO Changpong Zhao (CZ) made an unexpected video message appearance. CZ previously revealed in late July that Binance was getting ready to provide full operations in Japan starting in August, ushering in a new age of competition among cryptocurrency exchanges in the nation.

A swarm of headlines affecting Japan and the Web3 sector appeared in June 2023. The country’s national tax agency updated legislation to exempt token issuers from paying corporate taxes on unrealized cryptocurrency gains.
