Coinbase said in an announcement on Wednesday that it is launching Coinbase Japan as part of its global strategy in one of the largest markets by crypto trading volumes.
“In line with our global strategy, we will aim to be the easiest to use and most trusted exchange in Japan that’s fully compliant with local regulations,” the firm said in the statement. “That’s why we are also excited to announce our partnership with MUFG — one of the largest banks in Japan serving 40 million Japanese customers.”
The partnership will give Japanese customers the access to fiat on- and off-ramp through MUFG’s Quick Deposit services, according to the statement.
The exchange said it will initially support the trading for five largest crypto assets by trading volume with more assets to come in the coming months but did not provide specific names.
Coinbase said it plans to launch other localized versions of its existing global services such as advanced trading and Coinbase for Institutions.
