Fujitsu, the renowned Japanese technology conglomerate, has applied for a patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to offer brokerage services for cryptocurrency trading.
As part of the application, Fujitsu revealed a distinct logo that features the word “FUJITSU” with a stylized s-curl above the letters “J” and “I”.
The filing states that Fujitsu plans to provide a range of services including crypto asset exchange, deposit acceptance, loan financing, and financial management.
This move follows Fujitsu’s growing interest in Web3, as evidenced by its recent launch of a platform to support Web3 developers worldwide.
The Japanese government has also shown support for the integration of blockchain and Web3, with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida endorsing these technologies to address the country’s cultural and technological challenges.
In February, the Japanese authorities announced that they would launch a pilot program for the digital yen project in April. As part of this program, the central bank will conduct simulated transactions with private financial institutions in a test environment.
Fujitsu’s latest application for cryptocurrency trading services is a testament to its commitment to innovation and staying ahead of the curve in the rapidly-evolving world of blockchain and crypto.
