With spot trading, they are bringing 34 tokens to customers in Japan as a first step, including BNB (Build and Build), which will be available in Japan for the first time.

Binance has announced the go-live of its Japanese operation, with a local dedicated platform (binance.com/ja) already onboarding new customers in Japan.

Binance Japan, the local subsidiary of the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrency infrastructure provider, was born out of the crypto exchange’s acquisition of local licensed crypto exchange service provider SAKURA Exchange BitCoin, Inc. (SEBC) in November last year.

In the meantime, SEBC changed its business name from SAKURA Exchange BitCoin, Inc. (SEBC) to Binance Japan Inc.
