Japan's SBI Shinsei Bank pilot deposit interest exchange for cryptocurrency

According to CoinDesk, Japan's SBI Shinsei Bank will launch a pilot program on June 10th, allowing customers to exchange a portion of their deposit interest for BTC, ETH, or XRP. This plan introduces cryptocurrency assets through "interest exchange", allowing users to obtain cryptocurrency exposure without the need to purchase directly. The pilot scale is relatively small, and subsequent expansion depends on customer participation and regulatory environment.
