The platform allows users to deposit both Japanese yen and cryptocurrencies, while withdrawals in Japanese yen will be available starting from August 20. With the Convert feature, users can swap between 32 different tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Shiba Inu (SHIB), XRP, and Cardano (ADA).
Spot Trading, on the other hand, supports 32 tokens, including all the tokens available in the Convert feature, except for JasmyCoin (JASMY) and NEM (XEM).
It is worth noting that Binance’s American-based sister exchange recently expanded its support for XRP once again after the ruling that clarified XRP security status.
