SBI Group's affiliate, APLUS, has launched a service enabling credit card users to convert loyalty points into cryptocurrencies. This innovative feature allows users to redeem their APLUS credit card points for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP). Convert Points to Crypto Easily For every 2,100 APLUS points, users can redeem approximately 2,000 yen (around $13 USD) worth of cryptocurrency. The converted cryptocurrency will be conveniently deposited into the user's SBI VC Trade account, another SBI subsidiary. This streamlines the process and makes cryptocurrency access easier for APLUS credit card holders. SBI Expanding Crypto Reach This move underscores SBI Group's increasing interest and investment in the cryptocurrency space. By integrating crypto rewards with their existing credit card program, APLUS is likely aiming to attract new users and provide added value to its customer base. The service simplifies entry into the crypto market for those unfamiliar with exchanges. ```
