In 2023, Sony Group completed the acquisition of Amber Japan, the parent company of crypto exchange WhaleFin. This move was an important part of Sony's strategy to expand its presence in the Japanese cryptocurrency market.
Rebranding Announcement
On July 1, 2024, Amber Japan announced a major rebranding that will affect both the company itself and its cryptocurrency platform WhaleFin. Amber Japan will now be known as S.BLOX. The WhaleFin platform is also expected to change its name to S.BLOX to match the company's new branding.
Improved User Interface
As part of the rebranding, the company plans to significantly improve the user interface of the platform. The innovations are aimed at improving ease of use for ordinary users, which should make trading crypto assets more accessible and comfortable.
“As a member of the Sony Group, we will work to create new added value in the field of cryptocurrency asset trading services by collaborating with various group enterprises,” Amber Japan said in an official release. These words underscore the company's commitment to integrating its efforts with other Sony divisions to achieve better results.
Prospects and Timing for Relaunch
While the exact timing of the relaunch of the WhaleFin platform under the new S.BLOX brand has not yet been announced, changes are expected to be implemented soon. Users can expect improved service and more advanced tools for trading cryptocurrencies.
