PayPay Acquires 40% Stake in Binance Japan — Boost for Crypto Adoption

Japan’s crypto landscape just got a massive boost! PayPay, the country’s leading digital payments app, has officially acquired 40% of Binance Japan, paving the way for a new wave of mainstream adoption.

This partnership combines PayPay’s 60+ million user base with Binance’s trading and blockchain infrastructure. The goal? Simplify access to crypto trading and integrate mobile-friendly payment gateways directly within the PayPay ecosystem.

Regulators in Japan have been strict, but Binance’s local compliance approach appears to be paying off. The joint venture will focus on regulated products, secure custody, and user education — aligning with Japan’s evolving crypto framework.

For traders and creators, this signals a new era of mass onboarding — especially in APAC, where mobile payments dominate daily transactions.
