Abic Corporation is one of the established banking giant and offers variety of loan products. These loaning includes commercial loans along with real estate loans. The bank was founded in 1973 and is around for a long time.

The company is bound to accrue more and more profit especially if they decides to target the individuals. The sale of crypto assets by individuals generate miscellaneous income which is subject to progressive taxation in Japan.

The progressive taxes can go as high as 55%. The bank surely will get much higher piece of the pie on every single case.  This is what drives the decision of the company to fuse the crypto assets in traditional loaning structures.
