SBI VC Trade indicates that, as the yen continues to be weak, an increasing number of Japanese enterprises are beginning to integrate bitcoin and XRP into the company ' s financial reserves in order to spread the risk of cash holding. The company also disclosed that the total number of registered accounts for VCTRADE and BITPOINT under the flag had exceeded 2 million.

Number of accounts raised to 2 million

According to the bulletin, this figure is double the figure of about 1 million in 2025. The size of the accounts was further expanded after the merger with the associated company BitPoint Japan was completed in April 2026.

According to the company, full consolidation of the two brands is planned to be completed by December 2026 to reduce costs and harmonize service standards.

  • Total number of registered accounts: over 2 million
  • Statistical calculator: VCTRADE and BITPOINT
  • Brand integration target time: 2026 by December

Growing demand from business clients

This encryption platform under the umbrella of SBI Holdings indicates that the use of the SBIVC for Prime services for businesses is increasing. One of the driving factors is the desire of enterprises to move reserve funds from a single cash allocation to a larger portfolio of assets in the context of a weak yen.

The company also mentioned that some enterprises would issue bitcoin or XRP to shareholders through a shareholder feedback scheme, which also generated demand.

Stable currency becomes another growth point.

In addition to bitcoin and XRP, stabilizationcoins are also promoting adoption in the Japanese market. SBI VC Trade went online in March 2025, and in June 2026 added a new Ripple United States dollar stabilization currency, RLUSD, and JPYSC linked to the yen.

At the same time, companies began to provide a stable currency-based lending service. SBI VC Trade describes JPYSC as the first Japanese yen-stable currency based on a trust structure.

  • March 2025: Online USDC
  • June 2026: Add RLSD and JPYSC
  • The same period of action: introduction of a stable currency lending service

Additional information:CoinDesk previously reported that RLUSD has been providing services through the local approval framework in Japan by SBI VC Trade.
