Three major Japanese securities giants consider entering the cryptocurrency trading business
BlockBeats News, February 18, three Japanese securities giants with a combined market capitalization of approximately $48 billion stated that they are considering entering the cryptocurrency trading business, with the largest among them aiming to provide crypto trading services by the end of 2026.
According to Nikkei, Japan’s largest securities provider, Nomura Holdings, which manages about $673 billion in client assets, will conduct related business through its Swiss crypto subsidiary Laser Digital. The report also stated that the other two companies—Daiwa Securities Group and SMBC Nikko Securities—are actively considering entering the cryptocurrency trading market as well.
The report noted that these companies expect a surge in crypto investment demand once Tokyo eases restrictions on cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds, and are therefore making early preparations. Japanese firms are determined not to let a bitcoin price crash derail their crypto adoption plans, and it is expected that in 2026, many digital asset reserves will increase their crypto holdings.
