Digital Asset LendingCrypto-asset lending

A lending service (loan for consumption of crypto-assets) under which SPD Japan borrows crypto-assets from corporate clients, pays the lending fee set out in each individual lending agreement, and, in accordance with that agreement, will return crypto-assets of the same kind and quantity. Lending fees, lending periods, and conditions for return are set out in each individual lending agreement. Details are explained individually after an NDA has been signed. SPD Japan's credit risk: Due to a deterioration in SPD Japan's financial condition, its insolvency, or similar events, the lent crypto-assets may not be returned and lending fees may not be paid. Due to the nature of a loan-for-consumption agreement, ownership of the borrowed crypto-assets transfers to SPD Japan, and they are not held separately from SPD Japan's own assets. If SPD Japan becomes insolvent, clients will be general (unsecured) creditors holding a claim for return.
