DeCurret is one of 30 holders of the Crypto-Asset Exchange Service Provider (CAESP) license from the Financial Services Agency of Japan (FSA).

Backed by 35 shareholders, including leading banks and corporations in the country, DeCurret has become a pioneer in the new industry in Japan.

The deal is expected to create synergies by bringing together the WhaleFin tools for institutional-grade investment in digital assets developed within WhaleFin and DeCurret’s access to the Japanese crypto market.

Earlier, Deloitte named Amber Group a technology leader in 2021.

Earlier, the crypto-derivatives platform FTX agreed to acquire the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Liquid and its subsidiaries.
