TechFlow News: On March 25, Berachain—a Layer 1 blockchain project—officially launched in the Japanese market. SBI VC Trade, a cryptocurrency exchange operated by Japanese financial conglomerate SBI Holdings, has enabled spot trading for its native token $BERA, supporting direct trading pairs with the Japanese Yen (JPY).
Under the stringent regulatory framework of Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA), only audited “whitelisted” tokens may be listed on compliant exchanges—making such assets highly exclusive and scarce in the local market. The listing of $BERA signifies that the project has completed all required compliance procedures under Japanese regulations. As part of SBI Group’s broader financial ecosystem, SBI VC Trade now provides fiat deposit/withdrawal and trading support for $BERA to both institutional and retail users in Japan.
In addition, SBI VC Trade will run a trading incentive campaign from March 25, 2026, to April 30, 2026, with a total reward pool valued at ¥10 million JPY. Users participating in $BERA/JPY trading during this period will have the chance to win rewards via a lottery draw.
