4. Scope of operations
The company is an FX (foreign-exchange margin trading) specialist firm, and crypto assets are provided as a derivatives service (SBI Bitcoin FX) added onto the same account base as FX.
The following table defines the service boundary from the company’s current product pages and JVCEA listing; current official pages take precedence for instrument and pair counts. ^[Sources: https://www.sbifxt.co.jp/advantage/cfd_index.html; https://www.sbifxt.co.jp/advantage/cfd_coin.html; https://jvcea.or.jp/member/.]

Deposit channels (crypto-asset CFD): official guidance lists quick deposit and a deposit path from SBI FXTRADE NEOBANK. Supported financial institutions, acceptance methods, and fees can change; consult the current deposit guidance.
Main specs of the crypto-asset CFD: the trading type is over-the-counter crypto-asset margin trading. Leverage, loss-cut, fee, and funding-rate terms can change; consult the current product summary and pre-contract disclosure.
5. Market share / trading volume
- Trading volume / number of accounts: the company and product pages reviewed on 2026-07-29 did not identify recurring trading-volume or account-count disclosure for the crypto-asset CFD alone. This does not establish that no such disclosure exists.
- Customer base: the product is offered on the FX account platform. This entry does not infer a customer mix or the presence or absence of a dedicated institutional program beyond the reviewed materials.
- Position: no comparable trading-volume dataset for the crypto-asset CFD alone was identified, so no market rank is assigned. Advertising ranks for the foreign-exchange FX business are not carried over to the crypto-asset CFD.
