Re: Japan Crypto Exchanges
To respond to the original question, I use BitFlyer and haven't had any serious issues with them yet. I have an account with Binance but never used it since they are not regulated, and I only purchase ETH and BTC. Since you say you're into more speculative coins, BitFlyer is likely not going to be ...
