Founded in 2012, Coincheck has become one of Japan's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, known for its user-friendly interface and a wide selection of listed assets. Following a major security breach in 2018, the company was acquired by Monex Group, Inc., a major online securities firm. Since the acquisition, Coincheck has significantly overhauled its security systems and internal controls, successfully registering with Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) as a licensed Crypto Asset Exchange Service Provider. Its mission is to make new value exchange more accessible, offering services that include a cryptocurrency exchange, a direct sales service, crypto lending, staking, and an NFT marketplace.
