what's Rakuten Wallet?

Rakuten Wallet is a licensed cryptocurrency exchange operated by Rakuten Wallet, Inc., a subsidiary of the Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten Group. Regulated by the Kanto Local Finance Bureau, it provides spot and margin trading for major assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Stellar (XLM), and Tezos (XTZ) via a dedicated mobile app. Users can seamlessly exchange Rakuten Points—loyalty points from the Rakuten ecosystem—for cryptocurrencies starting from as low as 100 points, lowering the barrier to entry. The platform emphasizes secure trading with regular maintenance, real-time price updates, and market analysis, while expanding into Web3 through partnerships like Web3 passes and blockchain validation.
