The Japanese e-commerce and business giant Rakuten has taken yet another significant step into the world of crypto by linking its crypto platform with its e-pay operations.

In an official release, the firm announced that it would allow customers of its Rakuten Wallet crypto wallet and exchange platform to top up their e-pay accounts using bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH) and bitcoin cash (BCH), in what it claimed was a Japanese first.

It means that crypto customers will also be able to spend their tokens on a range of Rakuten’s own products and services, including its mobile operations, travel, and streaming services.
