Digital Asset Markets Launches Large-Scale Crypto Trading Service for Institutional Investors and Corporations

Digital Asset Markets Co., Ltd. announced that as of May 26, 2026, it has launched a crypto trading service designed for proprietary trading by institutional and corporate investors. Considering relevant regulatory trends, the service is initially limited to 'proprietary trading by financial institutions' and 'trading for a company's own asset acquisition/retention,' excluding the management of client assets.

By connecting directly to multiple overseas liquidity sources, the service achieves competitive pricing and supports large-scale transactions. In addition to integration with the Intertrade dealing platform, direct connection via company APIs (such as FIX) is also available. Initial offerings start with Bitcoin (BTC/JPY, spot), with plans to expand the lineup sequentially. The company leverages its four-year, incident-free record of operating its proprietary trading system for 'Zipangcoin'—a gold-linked crypto asset—to provide this service with high reliability.

CEO Kazuya Nishimoto stated, 'As the world moves toward on-chain finance, liquidity management methods for crypto assets differ significantly between the West and Japan. As crypto assets transition from payment instruments to investment assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, it is crucial to establish infrastructure suited for Japan.'

Some corporate accounts have already been opened, with new applications to be processed sequentially. This service aligns with the company's objective following its capital raising of 1.3 billion yen announced in November 2025.
