▼Background
Since the launch of Coincheck exchange, Coincheck mainly focused on growth in Japan. Coincheck now has transactions of over $28 million/month and 16,000+ users just in Japan. Having strong transaction volume, user base and up trending Japanese cryptocurrency market, we had a lot of voice around the world asking us to support international customers. We decided to open up our market to the world, so cryptocurrency traders can enjoy trading at Coincheck.
In past few months, cryptocurrency market in Japan has changed dramatically. Recently, Japan’s executive branch of government, known as the Cabinet, has approved a set of bills aimed at modernizing the Japanese payments industry and giving recognition to virtual currencies like bitcoins for having a “function similar to real money.” This announcement has potential to boom cryptocurrency trading market in Japan. Furthermore, the price of BTC/JPY tends to be higher than other exchanges. Coincheck’s international supports will open up opportunities for international traders profiting from arbitrage.
▼How to buy Bitcoin/Ether
