SBI VC Trade is a Tokyo based crypto asset exchange, set up in May 2017 and owned entirely by SBI Group, one of Japan's largest financial conglomerates. It offers spot trading, leveraged trading, staking, and a crypto focused Visa card, alongside recent additions like the RLUSD and JPYSC stablecoins.
Japan's Financial Services Agency lists SBI VC Trade Co., Ltd. directly on its official register of crypto asset exchange service providers, registration number 00011 with the Kanto Finance Bureau, dated December 2017. The company also holds a Type 1 Financial Instruments Business licence and an electronic payment instruments licence from the same regulator.
In 2025, SBI VC Trade took over all customer accounts from DMM Bitcoin, a rival exchange that lost about 320 million dollars of Bitcoin in a 2024 hack blamed on North Korean hackers. This shows real regulatory trust in SBI VC Trade, though new users should know they may share a platform with absorbed customers.
