Japan's First* Crypto Lending Service 'HyperLending' Supporting HYPE Begins Pre-Registration

ICHIZEN HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Rintaro Mizuno and Yosuke Kida; hereinafter 'the Company') began accepting pre-registrations for its crypto asset lending service 'HyperLending' on June 10, 2026.

In addition to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the service will, for the first time in Japan*, offer lending for HYPE, the token of the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid. HyperLending is a crypto asset lending service that simplifies how users interact with their crypto assets by allowing them to deposit their holdings and increase the quantity of the same currency.

The official service launch (deposit acceptance and management) is scheduled for July 1, 2026.

■ Three Features of HyperLending

1. High Interest Rates Achievable Through In-House Management

The Company's in-house expert team directly manages the deposited crypto assets without outsourcing to third parties.

By eliminating intermediaries, the fees that would have been paid to them are redirected into the interest rates, supporting higher yields. This structure clarifies asset and risk locations and makes it less susceptible to the bankruptcy or freezing of external operators.

2. Daily Market Analysis and Monthly Performance Reports

The Company provides daily market analysis on weekdays and monthly performance reports. The market analysis offers insights into how the in-house team views and judges the current market. The monthly performance report provides information on actual management, such as the management perspective for the month.

We aim to address the anxiety of 'not knowing what's happening to your deposits' by providing various information.

*Market analysis is available to members ranked VIP2 or higher.

3. Japan's First* Support for On-Chain Financial Asset HYPE

The Company is the first in Japan to support lending for HYPE.
HYPE is the token of the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, which completes everything from trading to settlement on the blockchain without intermediaries like securities companies.

It allows 24-hour trading of not only crypto assets but also commodities like oil and indices like the S&P 500, with monthly trading volumes expanding rapidly.

As finance itself moves onto the blockchain, we handle this asset that serves as an entry point.

*Based on the Company's own research (June 2026, targeting domestic crypto asset lending services).

■ Lending Rates (as of June 2026) Two Deposit Methods

1. Flexible Plan (Withdraw Anytime)

This is a 'step-up' plan that maintains the freedom to withdraw anytime while the rate increases gradually the longer you deposit. However, the rate for each period applies only to that specific period, so depositing for one year (365 days) does not mean the entire period earns 10%.

Asset \ Deposit Period
~90 days
91~180 days
181~365 days
366 days~
Bitcoin (BTC)
5%
7%
9%
10%
Ethereum (ETH)
5%
7%
9%
10%
Hyperliquid (HYPE)
2%
3%
3.5%
4%

2. Fixed-Term Plan (Fixed Period, High Rate from the Start)

This plan offers a consistently high rate from the first day of deposit until maturity, in exchange for fixing the deposit period in advance. Unlike the Flexible plan, there is no need to go through step-up periods; you can manage your assets at a high level from the start. However, withdrawals are not possible during the fixed period (withdrawal and resetting are possible upon maturity).

Asset \ Deposit Period
90-day Fixed
180-day Fixed
365-day Fixed
Bitcoin (BTC)
6.5%

■ Pre-Registration Campaign: Up to 12% Rate Boost for First 1,000 Registrants

Ahead of the service launch, a boost campaign will be implemented for those who complete pre-registration in June and make a deposit by the end of July, increasing the applicable rate for one year.

This is a first-come, first-served campaign where the earlier you apply, the higher the multiplier applied.

Number of Registrants \ Item
Boost Multiplier
Example: If base rate is 10% APR
~1,000 people
12% boost
11.2% APR
1,001~2,000 people
11% boost
11.1% APR
2,001 people~
10% boost
11.0% APR

・Eligibility and Conditions: The following two conditions are mandatory:\n　①: Complete pre-registration (including email verification) during June 2026.
　②: Make a deposit and start management by the end of July 2026 (receive the management start notification by July 31).

・Application Period: 1 year from the start of management.

・Calculation Example
For BTC and ETH with a maximum rate of 10% APR, the first 1,000 registrants will receive 11.2% APR (= 10% × 1.12).
For HYPE with a maximum rate of 4% APR, it becomes 4.48% APR.
This can be combined multiplicatively with the VIP program bonus (up to +6%), potentially reaching a maximum of 11.87% APR if both conditions are met.

Note
'×1.12' etc. is a multiplier applied to the base rate, not an addition of that numerical value (points) to the APR. As the first-come, first-served slots are limited, the additional multiplier may vary depending on the timing of registration and deposit.

■ Usage Flow

Membership Registration (Free): Free membership registration using an email address. The application is completed online.
