2024-12-02DMM Bitcoin announced wind-down · announced transfer to SBI VC Trade. The DMM Group’s crypto-asset spot exchange business disappeared

Relationship to the wind-down of DMM Bitcoin (a separate legal entity):

DMM.com Securities and DMM Bitcoin are separate legal entities (their address is the same Tokyo Nihonbashi Tower, but their legal personality and registration numbers differ). No official announcement can be confirmed that the wind-down of DMM Bitcoin (announced 2024-12 · completed 2025-03 ) directly affected DMM.com Securities’ JVCEA crypto-asset derivatives registration or business continuity (as of 2026-05-18). However, because the crypto-asset spot trading business as the DMM Group disappeared, the group’s crypto-asset business as a whole has contracted substantially.
