Metaplanet: JPX Shows Respect for DAT by Postponing Index Inclusion, Will Actively Engage in Public Discourse

BlockBeats News, April 5th. Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, Japan's largest Bitcoin custodian company, posted a message stating that JPX (Japan Exchange Group) has initiated a public consultation and plans to temporarily exclude companies with "cryptocurrency as their main asset" from the index. Metaplanet respects this process and has expressed its intention to actively participate in the public discussion.

Metaplanet emphasizes that its founding purpose is to provide Japanese investors with a transparent and compliant way to indirectly hold Bitcoin through companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. However, it is not limited to hoarding Bitcoin. Metaplanet is also actively building practical business and investment industry partnerships through the "Project Nova" project to promote the development of the Japanese Bitcoin ecosystem. Currently, Metaplanet has the support of over 216,000 Japanese shareholders for this mission.

Metaplanet has pledged to continue constructive dialogue with all stakeholders, including JPX, hoping to deepen the market's understanding of the role of Bitcoin and Metaplanet in Japan's financial future.
