Note: the FSA 第00018号 registration was completed under the LastRoots name in 2019-11-27. Gate Group’s entry（2024年12月）came about 5 years after registration, taking the form of inheriting the existing license through acquisition. The registration timeline and the timing of Gate-group affiliation are clearly divergent.

  • Building a new platform（as of 2026-05 ）: developing a dedicated trading platform for Japan residents / domestic corporations with pillars of brokerage / exchange / OTC / corporate payment solutions. The launch timing is undisclosed
  • c0ban withdrawal（2026年4月）: discontinuing c0ban（RYO）, the proprietary token that was the former flagship product, and planning to migrate to Gate Group’s standard asset lineup
  • Entertainment × fintech collaboration（2026年2月）: participating as a crypto-asset-exchange operator in a domestic entertainment-company consortium. Stated cooperation with the next-generation entertainment industry leveraging Web3 technology
  • Relationship with Gate.io global: Gate Japan is the Japan entity of Gate Group, but operates independently as a separate legal entity from Gate.com（formerly Gate.io）. Gate.io global had halted new account openings for Japan residents in 2024年7月, hence a re-entry in the form of going through a domestic legal entity
  • WebX 2025 title sponsor（2025年4月）: participated as a title sponsor of the global Web3 conference held in Tokyo
  • Representative Director: Makoto Miyata（宮田 誠）
  • Chairman of the Board: Lin Han（韩 林）（presumed to be a Gate Group affiliate; detailed background undisclosed）
  • Director & CEO: Nicolas Jin（金 田）
