According to Monex CEO Oki Matsumoto, the online broker plans to acquire Japanese exchange FTX Japan, a subsidiary of the collapsed crypto empire FTX Group.
Matsumoto noted that Japan's cryptocurrency market has maintained its potential in part because companies continue to buy digital assets as investments, as well as use non-fungible tokens for marketing purposes.
“We are interested in acquiring FTX Japan and it will be very good if the number of cryptocurrency exchanges competing with us decreases,” Oki Matsumoto explained.
