Popular Japanese Twitter user Ihayato, who has 177K followers, tried out the service for BCH and XRP. He tweeted his experience (loosely translated from Japanese):

SBI virtual currency exchange, spreads [are] tight. 3 yen for XRP and about 3,000 yen for BCH.

He further noted, “I do not think that there are merits to utilize here in the present situation. [But] I expect [there will be] in the future.”

The company launched the Vctrade crypto exchange service on June 4 with just the XRP/JPY trading pair. Currently, the service is only available to a limited number of users who pre-registered; the full launch is expected next month. With Monday’s announcement, the exchange now offers three trading pairs: BCH/JPY, BTC/JPY, and XRP/JPY.

For all three cryptocurrencies, customers can trade between 500 yen (~US$5.5) and 5 million yen (~$45,261). Alternatively, they can place their orders in cryptocurrencies of between 0.0001 and 40 BCH, 0.0001 and 5 BTC, or 10 and 70,000 XRP.

However, the company also indicated that it would not support smaller cryptocurrencies, Impress Corporation conveyed.

To gain market share in the crypto space, SBI Group plans to convert users from its existing securities business, which the group says is already the largest in Japan. SBI Securities “is number one in the share of individual stock trading value, number of accounts, deposits and profitability,” the group wrote. SBI Securities currently has approximately 4.17 million accounts.
