Crypto Custody Advisory in Tokyo
Vendor-neutral custody guidance for Tokyo institutions.
Custody is the one decision you cannot easily undo. We help Tokyo teams pick once, properly.
Standing up a crypto-fiat venue from Japan is no longer a software problem. Order matching is commodity; what differentiates a venue is market structure, listings discipline, banking rails, and the institutional onboarding pack.
We advise founders and existing exchange operators on the parts that crash silently — fee schedules that bleed maker flow, listing committees that wave through bad tokens, KYT thresholds set too loose for the partner bank.
Specialization: Asian crypto-fiat corridors where regulation, banking, and order flow are actively converging.
Hands-on read of Tokyo venue dynamics and counterparties.
We compare providers across Japan; you stay in control.
Regulatory fit built in from day one for Japan.
30 minutes with a partner. No deck. No pitch.
Bring the timeline and the constraint. We will tell you what is actually possible in Japan — and when it is not the right answer.
A small bench. Partner-led from intake to close.
- 01 — Market-structure review
Audit fee tiers, matching logic, self-trade prevention, and risk-engine triggers.
- 02 — Listings & liquidity
Stand up a listings committee, vetting framework, and MM rotation policy.
- 03 — Institutional pack
Onboarding flow, KYT thresholds, and reporting that a treasury desk will accept.
- 04 — Continuous counsel
Quarterly review of competitive structure, regulatory drift, and venue economics.
The bench that signs the file.
We have sat on both sides — advising token issuers on venue selection and venues on listings. That round-trip view shows up in every recommendation.
For Japan-licensed or Japan-targeting venues, we map the regulatory line as it is being drawn — not where it was twelve months ago.
- ◆A listings policy a regulator can read without flinching.
- ◆A liquidity program that does not collapse the first time an MM walks.
- ◆Institutional onboarding that closes desks, not just emails.
- Do you work with exchanges based in Tokyo?
- Yes — both established venues and new entrants launching in Japan.
- Is the engagement advisory or implementation?
- We advise; you (or your vendor) implement. We can oversee delivery.
- How long does an advisory mandate typically run?
- Most Tokyo mandates run 3–6 months with optional extensions.
