Easy entry to Japanese crypto market
Huobi Japan was launched as a full compliant entity after the Singapore-headquartered exchange majority stake in BitTrade, a Japanese crypto exchange. This also provided an easy entry for the exchange in the Japanese market as BitTrade already held the mandatory license from the Financial Services Agency (FSA) in Japan to operate a crypto exchange.
Once China’s largest crypto exchange, Huobi re-established itself in Singapore after an exile from its home country. Currently, the exchange is focusing on dominating the global markets and is constantly tapping new markets.
Most recently, it decided to open fiat deposits in Turkey for easing crypto trading services. However, the fiat-crypto trading pair will be limited to only one.
It also opened a local exchange in Argentina and gained a license to operate a crypto exchange in Thailand.
Meanwhile, in Japan, six established companies formed a self-regulatory association in the country to study business opportunities in the area of securities token offerings (STOs).
