bitFlyer

bitFlyer is a Japanese crypto-asset exchange operated by bitFlyer, Inc. It offers buying and selling of digital assets for Japanese yen, as well as recurring purchases and a separate product, Crypto CFD.

Trading and pricing The supported assets include BTC, ETH, XRP and SOL, with JPY as the fiat currency. There is no separate trading commission on the simple Buy/Sell function, but a spread is included in the buy and sell price. The public page states that purchases and sales are possible from 1 JPY.

Licensing The provider states that it holds Kanto Finance Bureau crypto-asset exchange registration No. 00003 and Financial Instruments Business registration No. 3294. These are the company's own statements.

Who it suits The service is aimed at individual users in Japan who want a yen-based on-ramp with a regulated local operator and a simple purchase flow. Costs depend on the spread at the time of the trade, so traders who compare venues should look at the quoted buy and sell prices rather than a headline commission figure, and should read the terms for recurring purchases and for Crypto CFD separately.
