Representative Director and President Tomohiko Kondo This is a smartphone app renewal project that we have been working on since last year, and we are finally able to release it today. Until now, we have been providing services by continuously improving the conventional smartphone app that was provided before the service integration, but this time we have developed a new smartphone app, adding new functions and UI. /We were able to improve the UX. Even after today’s release, we would like to continue to receive feedback from everyone who uses it, and work with the companies we collaborated with to improve its functionality and UI/UX more quickly. • Minkabu Solution Services Co., Ltd. Representative Director, President and COO Masayuki Ban This time, I was in charge of the development of a new smartphone app for SBI VC Trade. Since 2014, we have leveraged our know-how from providing various solutions to a wide range of financial institutions to verbalize UI/UX pain points and promote improvements. We hope that you will be able to play a part in your crypto asset management by using the newly added speed ordering and staking screens as well as the revamped home screen. We will continue to make improvements to improve the convenience of our customers. • Tradeworks Co., Ltd. Representative Director and President Masakatsu Saito We are very honored to have been able to play an important role in the development of SBI VC Trade’s new smartphone application. This app is designed to allow users to trade more intuitively, with a screen layout that allows you to manage assets and trade at a glance. In addition, the graph display of asset trends and improved staking functions have made it possible to utilize crypto assets more effectively. We are confident that by using this new application, our customers will be able to enjoy investing in crypto assets more than ever. Tradeworks will collaborate with MSS and CXR to develop the application, and will continue to work on technological innovation with the aim of improving customer convenience. • CXR Engineering Co., Ltd. Representative Director Hiroyuki Kato In this case, our company was mainly
responsible for improving the UI/UX and implementing TradingView. We have made improvements to the size and visibility of the charts, and have tried to implement them so that they can be easily analyzed even on smartphones. To improve the UX, we moved the asset details page to the front while displaying price information on the TOP page. In addition, for leverage trading, we have moved inquiry pages such as the open interest summary and open interest list to the header, simplifying the way users view position information to make it easier to perform leverage trading. We also greatly organized the existing hamburger menu, improved visualization for each service, and proposed significant improvements to ease of use. We are proud that the usability has been significantly improved compared to existing apps, so please use this tool as a weapon for your crypto asset investment. Based on our corporate philosophy of “providing a system that embodies the value of information,” we will continue to realize financial innovation through both B2B and B2C. We look forward to your continued patronage. ■About Minkabu Solution Services Co., Ltd. (
