In an interview with IT Media, Satoshi Hasuo, the Representative Director and President of Coincheck said there are relatively “few” crypto-keen institutional investors in Japan, and lacking of a framework to help foster professional crypto investors.

In Japan, meanwhile, banks are yet to receive the green light to offer such services.
