Binance is the world's largest leading company in the cryptocurrency industry, with over 150 million users around the world.
Binance Japan acquired Sakura Exchange Bitcoin (SEBC) in November last year, was newly launched, and officially entered the Japanese market in August this year.
The exchange's platform is built with the same design as Binance, so the trading screen and trading tools are as high-performance and multi-functional as the global version of the service.
When Binance Japan entered the Japanese market, it declared that it would increase the number of stocks it handled to 100 as soon as possible. The start of handling 13 new stocks at once is part of this.
