GMO Coin Preparing for Tokyo Stock Exchange Listing
GMO Internet Group announced on February 4, 2026, that it is moving forward with preparations for a stock listing of its subsidiary GMO Coin, which operates a cryptoasset exchange business.
On February 4, 2026, GMO Internet Group disclosed that it has begun preparations for a stock listing of its consolidated subsidiary GMO Coin, the company's cryptoasset exchange operator. The announcement was made via a press release and a detailed PDF disclosure available on the parent company’s investor relations page.
GMO Coin is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GMO Internet Group and runs a regulated cryptocurrency exchange in Japan. The exchange offers spot trading in major digital assets as well as margin trading services. The listing preparation suggests that the parent company intends to spin off or list the subsidiary to unlock shareholder value and provide greater transparency for the crypto business.
No specific timeline or target exchange has been revealed yet. However, the move signals increasing maturity in the Japanese crypto exchange sector, where several firms have pursued public listings to gain credibility and access to capital markets. GMO Internet Group itself is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (ticker: 9449) and operates across internet infrastructure, financial services, and blockchain technology.
The announcement follows a trend of crypto exchange operators seeking public listings, both in Japan and globally. For GMO Coin, a successful listing would provide direct market valuation and potentially boost investor confidence in the broader GMO Internet ecosystem.
