The company says its services will not be affected, and customers can continue to use them as usual. Japanโs licensing requirements are strict and compliance-focused, and the integration of major financial groups bringing exchanges into their systems is ongoing.

โก Japanโs largest crypto exchange has been bought out by a securities firm
On October 1, SBI Holdings announced that the acquisition of bitbank has been completed, and bitbank has become its 100% wholly owned subsidiary. The deal price is 46.7 billion yen, about $290 million.
The transaction is carried out in three steps. First, SBIโs wholly owned subsidiary SBICAH will buy 53,704 shares from bitbank CEO Noriyuki Hirosue and other individual shareholders, then subscribe for 48,952 newly issued shares. bitbank uses this money to complete its final move: repurchasing all shares held by MIXI and CERES. With the two long-time shareholders exiting the scene, SBI becomes the only parent company.
The price hasnโt changedโitโs still the same amount as when the agreement was signed on June 25.
With the merged platform, SBI VC Trade plus bitbank brings custody assets of about 1.1 trillion yen (around $7 billion) and 2.92 million accounts. These figures are simply the sum of the two companiesโ numbers as of April 30 of this year. bitbank itself has about 960,000 registered users, and its depth in yen-quoted altcoins ranks among the best in Japan.
Itโs buying a license.
bitbank holds a license from the Financial Services Agency, operates a spot exchange, supports dozens of yen trading pairs, and also offers margin lending and custody services. Architect Partners stated plainly after the deal signing: SBI is spending $290 million to buy regulatory-controlled scale. bitbank itself doesnโt make money.
This is already part of SBIโs ongoing string of moves. In 2020 it absorbed TaoTao; after DMM Bitcoin was hacked in 2024, it took over that firmโs accounts. Earlier this April, it merged Bitpoint Japan into SBI VC Trade, and in July it secured a majority stake in Singaporeโs Coinhako. Japanโs licensed exchanges are being folded one by one into a larger group.
Hereโs a detail. At the same time as the acquisition, SBI VC Trade president Tomohiko Kondo joined bitbankโs board of directors, while bitbank CEO Noriyuki Hirosue went to SBI VC Trade as an outside director. The boards of the two exchanges will place people in each otherโs organizations. The integration intent is written very clearly.
Thereโs another layer, too. bitbank is one of Japanโs most active venues for XRP trading. When I wrote this, XRP/yen had 5.82 million XRP traded in the past 24 hours. SBI is also one of Rippleโs earliest partners in Asia and is pushing RLUSD and its own yen stablecoin, JPYSC. This acquisition effectively pulls Japanโs busiest XRP venue into Rippleโs camp.
Why now. Japanโs regulation is making room for consolidation among licensed firms, and the market is still discussing unifying taxation of crypto gains at 20%. Licenses are valuable, scale is valuable. Small exchanges that only have licenses arenโt worth much. SBIโs calculations are straightforward.
SBI says the impact of this deal on its fiscal performance for the year ending March next year will be minimal. Its crypto business itself isnโt small: for the fiscal year ending March of this year, crypto revenues were 89.6 billion yen (about $570 million), up 10.9% year over year.
When I wrote this, the four BTC price sources were between $84,672 and $84,689, with a drop of about 1.9% over the past 24 hours. ETH is at 2,684.
When traditional finance buys a licensed exchange, itโs aiming for the entry and exit pointsโaccounts, licenses, and stablecoin flows. This line in Japan has just been closed up. Next, itโll be about SBI taking bitbankโs 960,000 users and using them to promote RLUSD and the yen stablecoin.

SBIโs multi-million dollar backing of a Singapore stablecoin startup highlights a major shift toward regulated digital assets in Asia. Traditional finance giants arenโt just watching anymore; they are actively funding the infrastructure for cross-border merchant payments and enterprise apps. This move proves fiat-pegged tokens are becoming essential tools for global trade, bridging the gap between legacy banking and Web3 efficiency. Expect more institutional capital to flood this sector soon. #Stablecoins #SBI #CryptoNews

๐ One-sentence rundown: The licensed stablecoin payments company dtcpay in Singapore has completed a $25 million Series A round, with Japanโs SBI Group taking a strategic equity stake through its fund.
๐ What it does: Digital asset exchange, custody, and even a Visa co-branded cardโholding stablecoins lets you spend like youโre using a normal card. The business is expanding into Europe, Hong Kong, Australia, and North America.

dtcpayโs $25M Series A with SBI Signals a Stablecoin Surge in AsiaMost traders focus on price charts, but the real play is in institutional capital flow.
dtcpay, the fintech platform that powers crossโborder stablecoin payments, just closed a $25โฏmillion SeriesโฏA led by SBI Group, a Japanese banking giant. This isnโt just a funding round; itโs a strategic endorsement of stablecoins as the new conduit for global commerce.
The signal is clear: SBIโs entry brings not only capital but a vast distribution network across Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. On-chain data shows a 12% uptick in dtcpayโs transaction volume over the past month, and the average daily stablecoin transfer has jumped from 4โฏM to 7โฏM USDT. #Stablecoin #SBI #dtcpay
What does this mean for the market? With SBIโs backing, dtcpay can accelerate its expansion into European payment corridors, leveraging the EUโs upcoming stablecoin framework. The ripple effect could push other stablecoin issuersโUSDC, BUSD, and the emerging Asianโcentric XDCโto reโevaluate their crossโborder strategies. If dtcpay captures even 5% of the $200โฏB crossโborder payment market, we could see a 3โ4% uptick in stablecoin liquidity, nudging $USDT and $USDC higher.
Watch list: keep an eye on the โSBIโdtcpay partnershipโ ticker in the Binance Futures market. The first quarter of 2027 will be critical; any regulatory shift in Japan or the EU could either accelerate or stall this momentum. #WatchList
So, are we on the cusp of a stablecoin renaissance, or is this just a single companyโs success story?

If dtcpay captures even 5% of the $200โฏB crossโborder payment market, we could see a 3โ4% uptick in stablecoin liquidity, nudging $USDT and $USDC higher.
Watch list: keep an eye on the โSBIโdtcpay partnershipโ ticker in the Binance Futures market. The first quarter of 2027 will be critical; any regulatory shift in Japan or the EU could either accelerate or stall this momentum. #WatchList
So, are we on the cusp of a stablecoin renaissance, or is this just a single companyโs success story?
dtcpay, the fintech platform that powers crossโborder stablecoin payments, just closed a $25โฏmillion SeriesโฏA led by SBI Group, a Japanese banking giant. This isnโt just a funding round; itโs a strategic endorsement of stablecoins as the new conduit for global commerce.
The signal is clear: SBIโs entry brings not only capital but a vast distribution network across Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. On-chain data shows a 12% uptick in dtcpayโs transaction volume over the past month, and the average daily stablecoin transfer has jumped from 4โฏM to 7โฏM USDT. #Stablecoin #SBI #dtcpay

๐ฏ๐ต Japan is bridging the gap between crypto and traditional banking.
SBI Shinsei Bank, part of the SBI group, announced programs that will allow their clients to earn rewards in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP. This initiative is part of the group's strategy to integrate digital assets into everyday financial products.
SBI has a long-standing relationship with Ripple and has been a key player in promoting XRP in Japan, engaging in payment projects, remittances, and blockchain-based financial solutions. If these initiatives keep expanding, they could mark another significant step towards mass adoption of cryptocurrencies in the Japanese financial system.

ใJapan Crypto Market Shake-UpใSBI Group officially announces the acquisition of local crypto exchange Bitbank for 46.7 billion yen (about 289 million USD)!

๐ฏ๐ต Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings acquired a crypto exchange for $289 million
SBI Holdings announced it will acquire the Japanese crypto exchange Bitbank for approximately $289 million, with the deal expected to close in October.
Who is SBI?
One of Japanโs largest diversified financial services groups. Its business covers securities, banking, and insurance, making it a leading enterprise in Japanโs financial technology sector.
This acquisition comes when crypto market sentiment is at an extreme lowโBTC has just set a new intra-year low, and the Fear Index has fallen to around single digits.
This once again confirms a pattern:
Institutional players with capital and patience often choose to complete strategic mergers and acquisitions during market downturnsโnot wait until the peak of a bull market to enter at a premium.
Earlier, we saw Kraken in talks to acquire Aave equity; now itโs SBI acquiring Bitbank.
In a bear market, itโs never just a โseason of losing moneyโโitโs also a โseason of industry consolidation.โ
What other major institutional M&A deals do you think will happen next?๐

Japan's first trust bank stablecoin JPYSC has launched!
The SBI Group today rolled out Japan's first yen stablecoin backed by a trust bank, JPYSC ๐ด๐
Highlights:
โ
Issued by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank, reserves include cash and Japanese government bonds
โ
Listed as a 'third type of electronic payment tool' under the Payment Services Act, breaking the previous 1 million yen balance limit
โ
Developed in collaboration with Startale Group, tech is ready to roll
โ ๏ธ Initially available only to SBI VC Trade users, external wallet withdrawals and DeFi integration are not yet available
What does this mean? Japan has taken another step forward in the realm of regulated stablecoins. Enterprise-grade settlements and cross-border remittances are now possible, but to truly embrace the open blockchain ecosystem, weโll have to wait for regulatory approval.
