Monex Group Inc. is keen on the Japanese subsidiary of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crumbled FTX crypto empire that’s up for sale, according to the Tokyo-based online brokerage’s chief executive officer.
“Generally speaking, we naturally are interested,” Oki Matsumoto said in an interview, in response to questions about FTX Japan. While Matsumoto didn’t say if Monex is bidding for the business, the founder said it will be a “very good thing” if the number of crypto exchanges competing with his firm drops.
