For withdrawals to all other financial institutions, the fee, including tax, is 165 yen for any amounts of less than 30,000 yen and 258 yen (tax included) for any amounts over that threshold.

In addition, SBI Holdings also had plans to partner with Huobi Group to develop its crypto business in Asia, focusing on China. However, in March, the company decided to “stop the capital and business tie-up with the Huobi Group,” in order “to build a system with robust security and sufficient processing capacity by utilizing SBI Group’s resources” instead.
