In this second part of the series, we will talk about OKCoinJapan's efforts to newly handle cryptocurrencies.
Initiatives in collaboration with projects
In order to quickly deliver globally popular crypto assets to people in Japan, we place a premium on collaboration with projects that issue and manage crypto assets.
In Japan, new crypto assets must go through a prescribed screening process. In order to quickly start handling them, it is important to accurately understand the characteristics and project trends through close communication with the project.
Furthermore, starting to handle them is not the goal for us, but the start. By building ongoing relationships even after starting to handle them, we aim to provide opportunities that will please our customers, taking into account the intentions of the project.
As a concrete example, in order to help customers learn more about the target crypto assets, we create explanatory blogs and videos, and actively hold the "Learn & Earn Campaign" in which we give crypto assets to those who answer a quiz correctly, as well as AMAs on X-Space where you can ask questions casually.
In addition to online initiatives, we also actively utilize offline events. Recently, we have co-hosted an event with the IOST Foundation to provide the latest information from the project and create an environment where all participants can communicate in a friendly and fun manner.
Blake, Co-CEO of IOST, also came to Japan as a surprise guest for this event, which I think was a delight for all the participants.
