CoinTrade

Who can open a CoinTrade account?

Personal accounts are for Japan residents aged 18 through 79 who meet the other account conditions. Foreign residents can submit either a residence card or a certificate of special permanent residence. The residence documentation must have at least three months remaining.

Registration starts with an email address and password. Download the app, sign in, confirm your phone number by SMS and complete the online identity process. The guide uses an ID chip scan and checks your name and address.

Funding and scheduling

To deposit yen in the app, open 入出金 (Deposits/Withdrawals), choose 入金 (Deposit), then 日本円 (Japanese yen). Use the bank details shown there and transfer from an account in your own name. Transfers under another person's name, including a family member's, require a return process.

The home screen's 積立 option opens recurring purchases. Schedules can run daily or monthly on the 5th, 15th or 25th. Keep enough yen in the account for the scheduled purchase. CoinTrade sends an email if execution fails, for example because the balance is too low, price changes put the order outside size limits, or updated terms require acceptance.

Account opening and maintenance are free. Consult the fee schedule and the transaction quote for trading and withdrawal costs.

Staking and lending have their own application routes and terms. They commit crypto to a different activity from a purchase and should be assessed separately.
