It is the second digital currency on the platform since bitFlyer’s subsidiaries launched the service in July offering Bitcoin.
As Finance Magnates reported earlier, the new service of the overseas subsidiaries is an extension to its already existing pro-traders services, called Lightning. With it, the exchange is targeting “beginners” as well as “experienced traders” who are willing to invest in the original digital asset.

“We’re committed to offering the best customer experience whilst prioritizing security and regulatory standards, and we’re proud to say Buy/Sell now offers this capability with ETH.”
