SBI Holdings is in advanced discussions to acquire Bitbank as part of a broader strategy to dominate Japan’s digital asset sector. The deal would involve purchasing shares after due diligence and regulatory approvals, though key terms remain undisclosed. This follows SBI’s recent integration of other crypto platforms, signaling aggressive industry consolidation. Bitbank, which had been preparing for an IPO, may instead become part of SBI’s expanding crypto ecosystem if the transaction is finalized.
