The initiative follows the bank's earlier launch of USDC lending and discussions with Bitbank. It also aligns with planned cryptocurrency funds as Japan broadens regulated access to digital assets. Officials have not specified a launch date for the rewards program. The bank aims to attract more customers by integrating crypto incentives into traditional deposit services.
