Binance Japan has taken a noteworthy step by announcing that it will list 13 more tokens on its platform, increasing the total number of tokens to 47. With this development, Binance Japan has become the crypto exchange with the highest variety of pairs in the country.
Notable Step from Binance Japan
On November 15, Binance Japan announced that 13 new tokens will be listed on the platform. These tokens include Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), Near Protocol (NEAR), Optimism (OP), Immutable X (IMX), Arbitrum (ARB), The Graph (GRT), Render Token (RNDR), Decentraland (MANA), EOS (EOS), GALA (GALA), ApeCoin (APE), Klaytn (KLAY), and Lisk (LSK). The listing is scheduled to take place on November 27.
Binance Japan stated that all 13 tokens are already listed on other registered exchanges in Japan and have been classified as eligible assets for a facilitated evaluation process by the Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association, the regulatory body in Japan. Takeshi Chino, the General Manager of Binance Japan, commented:
“This is another significant step towards our goal of offering 100 tokens in Japan. We will continue to strive to enrich our service offerings in Japan by leveraging our global expertise and leading blockchain ecosystem.”
Binance Japan was launched in August following Binance’s acquisition of local licensed crypto exchange Sakura Exchange BitCoin in November 2022 and its subsequent rebranding. This move marked Binance’s re-entry into Japan after the country’s financial regulator issued a warning against Binance for operating without permission in 2021.
