Also, the company’s cryptocurrency exchange plans to offer several LINK-based rewards, such as discounts and trading fees.

LINE Betting Big on Cryptocurrency

The Japanese messaging giant is not new to the digital currency scene. With a user base of about 200 million, LINE Corp has taken remarkable steps in the virtual currency space.

LINK Corp, in May, inked a partnership deal with Korean cryptocurrency ICON (ICX). The collaboration could tentatively result in millions of LINE customers using the ICON blockchain platform to access dApps.

The Japanese company further took a giant step by establishing its own cryptocurrency exchange, called Bitbox, in Singapore. Bitbox would offer over thirty different digital currencies, including major ones like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum. The company further announced that Bitbox would only offer crypto/crypto market transaction.

As at June, LINE Corp announced that the services of the trading platform would be available to users around the world, except the United States and Japan.

In addition to its Bitbox launch in Singapore, the company added TRON (TRX) to its Bitbox exchange, through multiple trading pairs. The pairs include TRX/BTC and TRX/ETH.
