SBI VC Trade and BITPOINT: Nine-Token Retirement Creates Different Withdrawal and Margin Risks

Nine cryptocurrencies lost some purchasing, order-book or deposit functionality across two Japanese retail crypto brands on October 7, 2026. The affected assets are not one unified market event: they belong to two distinct product notices issued by businesses now operating under SBI VC Trade after corporate consolidation.  VCTRADE is retiring APT, ETC and OAS. BITPOINT is retiring BNB, DEP, JMY/JASMY, OSHI, PEPE and TRUMP. Both set major final service dates for October 28 at 13:00 JST, but asset-level withdrawal availability, collateral handling and trading mechanisms differ.VCTRADE: APT, ETC and OAS  SBI VC Trade says purchases of Aptos, Ethereum Classic and Oasys ended October 7 at 13:00 JST. Sales are scheduled to continue until October 28 at 13:00 JST. Its funding notice also ends OAS inbound transfers at the first cutoff and OAS outbound transfers at the final cutoff.

Japan’s SBI Buys Crypto Exchange Rival Bitpoint

Japanese Securities Giant SBI Completes Takeover of Crypto Exchange Bitpoint  Source: Pixs:sell/Adobe  The Japanese securities giant SBI has completed a takeover of the rival crypto exchange Bitpoint. The move consolidates the firms increasingly tight grip on the domestic crypto market – and marks the second time it has taken over a domestic rival.  SBI confirmed the move in a post on its website. The company snapped up a controlling (51%) stake in Bitpoint back in May last year. But, the firm wrote, it has now agreed a deal to buy the remaining 49% of Bitpoints share. The company did not disclose how much it had paid for the shares.  SBI explained that it would move to make Bitpoint a “wholly owned subsidiary” firm. The company also outright owns the TaoTao crypto trading platform – an exchange that was formerly part-owned by Yahoo Japan. SBI bought TaoTao in 2020. SBI also operates SBI VC Trade, its own organic crypto exchange.  SBI noted that it would use liquidity from its UK-based subsidiary B2C2 to improve existing Bitpoint services. The firm added that it may look to list gaming-related tokens on the platform in the future.  Bitpoint was founded by the points system operator Remixpoint.  Japanese Securities Giants Muscling out
