(Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Satoshi Takagi), will start handling 'Polygon (POL)' on its crypto exchange staking service, 'CoinTrade Stake,' beginning April 22, 2026.

*According to Mercury's research (conducted in April 2026 among domestic crypto service providers).
Ceres primarily operates in the planning, development, and management of internet media, including the major point-based site 'Moppy.' Ceres defines these points as a form of virtual currency (token) and believes they share high affinity with global digital payment methods like Bitcoin and blockchain technology.
Mercury obtained its crypto exchange license in February 2021 and launched 'CoinTrade,' an app-based exchange, in March of the same year. Since the launch of 'CoinTrade Stake' in July 2022, the company has positioned crypto assets as next-generation asset management, followed by the release of 'CoinTrade Lending' in July 2024.
Polygon (POL), now available on 'CoinTrade Stake,' is a crypto asset providing a Layer 2 mechanism on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. Following a significant upgrade in September 2024, the network transitioned from MATIC to POL, enabling more flexible token issuance. Designed for a multi-chain future, POL features low transaction fees and high processing speeds. Initially, POL will serve as the primary gas and staking token for the Polygon PoS network. In the next phase, it will play a crucial role in 'AggLayer,' a system designed to aggregate multiple blockchains built with Polygon technology.
Moving forward, Ceres, Mercury, and its affiliate Bitbank Corporation will continue to drive the realization of a token economy (a cashless society) through their crypto and blockchain businesses.
