Aplus, a credit card service from Shinsei Bank Group, has partnered with SBI VC Trade to allow users to exchange reward points for cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and XRP.
This integration marks a significant step towards broader cryptocurrency adoption in Japan, enabling Aplus cardholders to convert points into digital assets.
Previously, Aplus Points could only be redeemed for traditional benefits, but now users can exchange points for cryptocurrencies, facilitating easier entry into the market.
SBI Holdings' collaboration with SBI VC Trade highlights its commitment to integrating cryptocurrencies into Japan's financial system.
