Abstract:Monex Group, located in Tokyo, is interested in acquiring the Japanese arm of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
Oki Matsumoto, CEO of Monex Group, told Bloomberg, “Generally speaking, we are naturally intrigued,” adding that it would be a “really beneficial thing” if the number of crypto exchanges competing with his business decreases.
Matsumoto sees promise in the Japanese industry, in part because firms may soon begin purchasing digital currencies as investments and using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for marketing efforts. He wants the Tokyo-listed business to be one of the “few options” for clients when that time arrives, he says.
The CEO would not say if Monex will make a bid for FTX Japan, but he did say it would be a “very positive thing” to lower the number of crypto exchanges competing with Monex.
Last Friday, the United States Bankruptcy Court in Delaware granted FTX permission to liquidate assets in order to repay creditors, including FTX Japan Holdings, FTX Europe, stock trading platform Embed Financial Technologies, and crypto derivatives exchange LedgerX.
Parties interested in purchasing FTX Japan must make a non-binding preliminary proposal by February 1, according to court records. The final bid deadline for FTX Japan is March 15.
After a $500 million theft earlier in the year, Tokyo-listed Monex Group bought local crypto exchange Coincheck Inc. in 2018.
Last month, FTX Japan said that it is preparing to enable its customers to withdraw funds in February via Liquid, the Japanese crypto exchange that FTX purchased last year and transformed into a subsidiary.
Furthermore, Matsumoto stated that Monex-owned cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck would seek a public stock offering in the United States through Nasdaq, giving the business access to the country's lucrative financial markets.

As the 2024 U.S. presidential race approaches, investors worldwide are closely watching potential outcomes and their implications for global markets. While a 269-269 Electoral College tie between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains unlikely, its occurrence would set the stage for an unprecedented period of political uncertainty, triggering a contingent election decided by Congress. Such uncertainty would ripple across forex, stock, and oil markets, where stability and predictability are prized. Here’s a look at how a tie could affect these key financial sectors.
