Binance officially launched its cryptocurrency exchange in Japan on August 1, 2023, re-entering the Japanese market. According to recent reports, Japanese residents will be able to create accounts from mid-August. However, their access to Binance’s global platform will be restricted after November 30. This is because the exchange is currently not permitted to offer derivative services in the region. Nevertheless, they will have the option to start trading on the new Japanese venue beginning December 1.
Binance’s entry into the Japanese market was first announced in April when the Sakura Exchange BitCoin [SEBC], a platform acquired by Binance. Although the initial launch date was set for June, founder Changpeng Zhao confirmed that the launch would take place in August.
