We're thrilled for THETA to be listed on Binance Japan next week, following THETA's approval for trading in Japan by the Japanese Virtual Currency Exchange Association (JVCEA). We have been in discussions for some time to enter the Japan market, and this year with the help of Binance Japan we received approval for THETA listing.

While the journey was long, in the end it has paid off to enter the market in a strong position. We take this approach in other jurisdictions as well, and while the process can take time, it has served Theta well in avoiding missteps that have hurt other crypto projects. With regulatory sentiment toward crypto turning in a positive direction around the world, including in the U.S., we believe this strategy will pay off and we'll continue to see increased user access for THETA and all tokens in the Theta ecosystem.

At THETA, your security is our top priority. We've noticed an increase in reports of scams and phishing attempts, and want to share the list of official Theta websites:

thetatoken.org/official-links

If a Theta URL doesn't match the one in the above list, it is very likely a scam. Beware of unsolicited messages from senders who pretend to be someone you trust. The Theta team will never call you, send an unsolicited direct message via text or social media, ask you to send your funds to an external wallet address or ask you for your account password or security codes.
