Cryptocurrency company Amber Group is considering selling its Japanese licensed subsidiary, DeCurret.
“Japan is a very high-quality market, but there are very strict rules,” said Amber managing partner Annabelle Huang.
Instead of operating in Japan, the firm plans to apply for a license in Hong Kong.
According to Huang, the company wants to focus more on institutional clients rather than retail business.
Earlier, Coinbase and Kraken left Japan.
