The investment is from Japan, but it does not mean the customers will pour Japanese money into the exchange to buy bitcoin.

It will be interesting to see how they go about this... the idea behind that would be to make remittance easier... Kraken might just open a door for that venture. Let's just wait and see what will happen.... this is my observation on this. ::) |
