I was just thinking that they see it the perfect time to bring dominance to the bitcoin market with China failing with their exchange model and their lack of responsibility when it comes to fair and honesty trading when it comes to money. They want to bring the name sake of their one of their "Prodigal Son"* back to the mainland.
Satoshi Nakamoto!
*The Parable of the Prodigal Son (also known as the Lost Son, Running Son, Loving Father, or Lovesick Father) is one of the parables of Jesus and appears in Luke 15:11–32. Jesus Christ shares it with his disciples, the Pharisees and others. In the story, a father has two sons.
Wiki reference:
Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or persons who designed bitcoin and created its original reference implementation, Bitcoin Core.[1] As a part of the implementation, they also devised the first blockchain database. In the process they were the first to solve the double spending problem for digital currency. They were active in the development of bitcoin up until December 2010.
Nakamoto has claimed to be a man living in Japan, born around 1975. However, speculation about the true identity of Nakamoto has mostly focused on a number of cryptography and computer science experts of non-Japanese descent, living in the United States and Europe. One person, Australian programmer Craig Steven Wright, has claimed to be Nakamoto, though he has not yet offered proof of this.
As of 2 February 2017, Nakamoto owns roughly one million bitcoins,[2] with a value estimated at over US$1 billion.

Possibly a "Make Japan great again!" campaign in the works for this exchange as their new offering?
