  • Features: Simple line-up centred on BTC. No pure spot trading account; trading is structured as leveraged CFD contracts.

4. Business scope

  • Crypto asset CFD (OTC derivatives): Launched as the “Mainichi Crypto Asset” service on 2021 年 12 月. Provides leveraged trading and smartphone/PC tools.
  • FX business (former): “Partners FX” and “Partners FX nano” were the main products, but the entire FX business was transferred to Gaitame.com Co., Ltd. by absorption-type demerger on 2025年6月.

5. Market share and trading volume

  • No public account-number or trading-volume data has been disclosed (after delisting, IR information is being consolidated under the Gaitame.com Group).
  • Given CFD-only crypto trading, 4 pairs, and suspended new-account registration, the company’s position in the retail market is judged to be a niche (primarily serving existing customers).
  • During its peak FX era, the company held a recognised brand in the domestic retail FX market as part of a TSE First Section-listed group, but expansion of its crypto asset business was limited.
