“Rakuten Wallet…which operates a virtual currency exchange service, announced that registration with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau has been completed as a “virtual currency exchange service provider” based on the Payment Services Act...Rakuten Wallet will contribute to the sound growth of the market as a virtual currency exchange company, and will further enhance security and provide enhanced services so that more customers can use it safely and with confidence.”
