Japan, briefly home to Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, was also the headquarters of the crypto exchange following the move of its operations from China. However, Binance relocated to Malta in 2018 following warnings from Japanese financial regulators about its license.


The Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan issued a letter to Binance in June 2021, warning the exchange about operating in the country without a license. A spokesperson told Cointelegraph at the time that the firm did not “hold exchange operations” in the country or “actively solicit Japanese users”.

Binance acquired Sakura Exchange Bitcoin in November 2022, suggesting the firm planned to reenter the Japanese crypto market under the required regulatory regime. The company said the move was aimed at “bolster[ing] the development of the Japanese digital-asset market,” citing its growing interest in blockchain.


Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has stood behind the government’s plans to promote Web3 innovations in the country. However, other crypto exchanges, including Kraken and Coinbase, announced their intention to shutter operations in Japan, citing market conditions.
