Some of the questions that BitFlyer’s blockchain consulting subsidiary is set to address include whether a firm would benefit from integrating this tech. In addition, they will also be advising on new blockchain applications given the fast-paced innovation within this industry hence a constant need for re-evaluation.

As mentioned earlier, BitFlyer was mainly inspired by market demand. The firm noted that several entities in Japan and other jurisdictions have inquired about launching Security Token Offerings (STO) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) tailored for anime copyrights, music, and video games. Given this opportunity, they have since pioneered blockchain consulting in a bid to boost their growth and that of blockchain ecosystems.

The Tokyo domiciled firm also recently offered its clients an option to purchase BTC at zero cost using the U.S dollar. Notably, BitFlyer’s operations are currently spread out to other regions including the United States and Europe.
