As a result of the applications, some of which come from extant Japanese exchanges such as bitFlyer, ten new players are slated to debut on the market to meet a forecast surge in demand.



These include SBI Holdings� SBI Virtual Currencies, GMO Internet, Kabu.com Securities and Money Partners Group, Nikkei reports on Tuesday.
