TAO will begin spot trading on Binance Japan on Jan. 9 at 5 p.m. JST, expanding the token's presence into one of the world’s most tightly regulated crypto markets.
According to the announcement from Binance, Binance Japan will list TAO with trading pairs TAO/JPY and TAO/BTC, bringing the exchange’s total listed assets to 65. Binance will also introduce JPY spot trading for FET/JPY on the same day.
The listing is notable because Japan is a top-20 crypto market while also maintaining some of the most stringent global regulatory standards. It's a high barrier to entry, and once passed, lower in competition compared to other markets (again, this will only be Binance Japan's 65th listed token).
Assets approved for local trading undergo extensive review, a process that can take years and requires close coordination with regulators. Because of this, as @TaoOutsider shared in his post, tokens that break into the Japanese market are often viewed as infrastructure-grade assets rather than speculative experiments.
"The Japanese market favors spot volume, lower leverage, and patient capital. That profile supports deeper liquidity, cleaner price discovery, and more resilient holders over time." - TaoOutsider
For Bittensor, the approval signals growing regulatory credibility. Japan’s market structure, which tends to favor spot trading, lower leverage, and longer holding periods, could support more stable liquidity and cleaner price discovery for TAO.
Binance Japan will support several services for the token at launch, including spot trading, convert functionality, recurring purchases, Binance Pay, and trading bots. To encourage early participation, Binance announced a zero maker fee promotion for the TAO/JPY and FET/JPY spot pairs. The promotion runs from Jan. 9 at 5 p.m. JST through Feb. 9 at 4:59 p.m. JST and is available to all Binance users, including those on Binance Japan.
