Japan Just Reopened the Door to Crypto After a 4-Year Freeze.

Nomura-backed Laser Digital has become Japan’s first newly registered crypto exchange operator since 2022. It will initially provide liquidity to licensed domestic firms, with institutional trading planned next.

And the timing matters: 65% of surveyed Japanese institutions see crypto as a diversification opportunity, and nearly 79% of those plan to invest within three years.

Japan isn’t backing away from crypto. It’s opening the institutional door.
