Binance Japan noted that all 13 tokens are already listed on other registered exchanges in Japan and have been classified as eligible tokens for a simplified assessment process by the self-regulatory body in Japan, known as the Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association.
Takeshi Chino, the general manager of Binance Japan, expressed their ambition to offer 100 tokens in Japan, stating, "This is another significant step toward our goal. We will continue to enhance our service offerings in Japan by leveraging our global expertise and leading blockchain ecosystem."
Binance Japan was launched in August after Binance acquired the local licensed crypto exchange Sakura Exchange BitCoin in November 2022 and subsequently rebranded it. This move marked Binance's return to Japan following warnings from the country's financial regulator in 2021 about operating without permission.
Notably, Binance's competitors Coinbase and Kraken have recently exited the Japanese market, citing unfavorable market conditions.
