Japan’s Growing Regulatory Stance

Japan has always been regarded as a pioneer in fostering crypto growth within the country. And, its recent issuance of specific guidelines for crypto companies reflects its dedication to ensuring a secure and transparent environment for investors and users alike. By adhering to these regulatory guidelines, Binance aims to foster trust and promote the long-term sustainability of the cryptocurrency industry.

The launch of Binance Japan will provide users with a localized platform that offers a user-friendly experience & with local fiat support. In recent months, Binance has been expanding its operations across international borders. Earlier, the firm was successful in obtaining a Digital Asset Licence from Thailand’s Ministry of Finance. This allowed the exchange to establish a new trading platform dubbed “Gulf Binance” which is a joint venture between Binance and Gulf Innova Co., Ltd.
