Tokyo, Japan - May 28, 2018 - Japanese financial behemoth SBI Holdings has finally launched its much-anticipated cryptocurrency exchange, VCTRADE, 15 months after its initial announcement in 2016. This landmark development marks the culmination of SBI's unwavering commitment to the burgeoning cryptocurrency industry and positions Japan as a global leader in the digital asset space.

日本东京 - 2018 年 5 月 28 日 - 日本金融巨头 SBI Holdings 在 2016 年首次宣布推出 15 个月后，终于推出了备受期待的加密货币交易所 VCTRADE。这一里程碑式的发展标志着 SBI 对新兴加密货币行业坚定不移的承诺达到顶峰并将日本定位为数字资产领域的全球领导者。

In a resounding statement of confidence in Ripple's transformative blockchain technology, VCTRADE will initially focus on trading XRP, the native token powering Ripple's Consensus Ledger (RCL). With bitcoin (BTC) support slated for the near future, the platform is poised to become a major player in the global cryptocurrency market. SBI Holdings' strategic partnership with Ripple and its joint ownership of SBI Ripple Asia, a company actively exploring the use of Ripple's blockchain in foreign exchange and interbank money transfers, underscores its long-term vision for VCTRADE.

在对 Ripple 变革性区块链技术充满信心的声明中，VCTRADE 最初将专注于 XRP 交易，XRP 是为 Ripple 共识账本（RCL）提供动力的原生代币。由于预计在不久的将来支持比特币（BTC），该平台有望成为全球加密货币市场的主要参与者。 SBI Holdings 与 Ripple 的战略合作伙伴关系及其对 SBI Ripple Asia（一家积极探索在外汇和银行间转账中使用 Ripple 区块链的公司）的共同所有权，突显了其对 VCTRADE 的长期愿景。

To celebrate its launch, VCTRADE will waive all transaction fees for XRP/JPY trading, offering users an unprecedented opportunity to trade digital assets seamlessly and cost-effectively. While withdrawal fees will apply for Japanese yen withdrawals, the platform has yet to disclose specific details.

为庆祝其上线，VCTRADE 将免除 XRP/JPY 交易的所有交易费用，为用户提供前所未有的无缝且经济高效地交易数字资产的机会。虽然日元提款将收取提款费用，但该平台尚未透露具体细节。

Initially available to a select group of 20,000 pre-registered users, VCTRADE is scheduled to open its doors to the wider public in July 2018. This gradual rollout will allow the platform to optimize its infrastructure and ensure a seamless user experience for its growing customer base.

VCTRADE 最初向 20,000 名预注册用户开放，计划于 2018 年 7 月向更广泛的公众开放。逐步推出将使该平台能够优化其基础设施，并确保为其不断增长的客户群提供无缝的用户体验。

SBI Holdings' foray into the cryptocurrency realm began in 2016 with the establishment of SBI Virtual Currencies, a wholly owned subsidiary tasked with spearheading the company's digital asset initiatives. Recognizing the burgeoning interest in virtual currencies, SBI embarked on a mission to become Japan's first bank-backed crypto exchange, paving the way for mainstream adoption and institutional-grade trading.

SBI Holdings 于 2016 年开始进军加密货币领域，成立了全资子公司 SBI Virtual Currencies，负责领导该公司的数字资产计划。认识到人们对虚拟货币日益增长的兴趣，SBI 开始致力于成为日本第一家银行支持的加密货币交易所，为主流采用和机构级交易铺平道路。

Despite receiving regulatory approval from Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) in September 2017, VCTRADE's launch was postponed to bolster the platform's cybersecurity safeguards, following the infamous $530 million NEM token hack from Tokyo-based cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck. SBI's unwavering commitment to security underscores its determination to provide a safe and reliable trading environment for its customers.

尽管 VCTRADE 于 2017 年 9 月获得了日本金融厅 (FSA) 的监管批准，但在东京加密货币交易所 Coincheck 遭受臭名昭著的 5.3 亿美元 NEM 代币黑客攻击后，VCTRADE 的推出仍被推迟，以加强该平台的网络安全保障。 SBI 对安全的坚定承诺凸显了其为客户提供安全可靠的交易环境的决心。

In addition to its VCTRADE venture, SBI Holdings has strategically invested in Japan's largest bitcoin exchange, bitFlyer, and acquired a 40% ownership stake in Taiwanese crypto hardware wallet developer CoolBitX. These partnerships suggest that SBI is actively exploring synergies across the cryptocurrency ecosystem, potentially leveraging CoolBitX's cold-wallet technology to safeguard customer assets on VCTRADE.

除了旗下的 VCTRADE 合资企业外，SBI Holdings 还战略投资了日本最大的比特币交易所 bitFlyer，并收购了台湾加密硬件钱包开发商 CoolBitX 40% 的股权。这些合作伙伴关系表明，SBI 正在积极探索整个加密货币生态系统的协同效应，可能利用 CoolBitX 的冷钱包技术来保护 VCTRADE 上的客户资产。

SBI Holdings' launch of VCTRADE is a watershed moment for the cryptocurrency industry in Japan and beyond. With its deep financial expertise, unwavering commitment to innovation, and strategic partnerships with industry leaders, VCTRADE is poised to become a dominant force in the global cryptocurrency market. As Japan continues to lead the charge in digital asset adoption, VCTRADE's presence will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and maturity of the global cryptocurrency ecosystem.

SBI Holdings 推出 VCTRADE 是日本及其他地区加密货币行业的分水岭。凭借深厚的金融专业知识、坚定不移的创新承诺以及与行业领导者的战略合作伙伴关系，VCTRADE 有望成为全球加密货币市场的主导力量。随着日本在数字资产采用方面继续处于领先地位，VCTRADE 的存在无疑将为全球加密货币生态系统的成长和成熟做出贡献。
