Spring Support Campaign: Start Building Assets with Crypto!

SBI Holdings, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, through its consolidated subsidiary SBI VC Trade, is excited to announce the launch of its Spring Support Campaign, starting April 24, 2026, as part of its VCTRADE service. The campaign encourages customers to begin their asset-building journey through cryptocurrency investments, offering cash back incentives of up to 1.5% based on transaction amounts without any limits.

As a new season begins, it's the perfect time to consider structured investing in cryptocurrencies. The cash back promotion is geared towards individuals setting up regular investments, providing further support for starting a new life phase.

With the motto “SBI for Cryptocurrency,” our service caters to various trading styles and preferences. Recognizing the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies, our customers can effectively maneuver the market. When setting up regular purchases, when prices are high, fewer tokens are bought, and when they drop, more tokens are purchased. This method, known as dollar-cost averaging, effectively helps to smoothen out the average purchase price, allowing for a more balanced investment approach amidst price fluctuations.

Additionally, among the eligible cryptocurrencies, 16 can also be used for staking. Customers can automatically receive monthly staking rewards based on their average holdings.

Performance of Major Cryptocurrencies

Major cryptocurrencies have shown a positive growth trend over the long term. In a comparison of price increases over three years from April 14, 2023, to April 14, 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) surged by +190%, Ethereum (ETH) increased by +31%, and Ripple (XRP) jumped by +208%. Over six years from April 14, 2020, to April 14, 2026, Bitcoin recorded an astonishing +1,506%, Ethereum +2,067%, and Ripple +987%.
