Bitget Wallet said it has officially joined the Blockchain Collaborative Consortium, or BCCC, becoming the first global consumer-facing self-custody wallet to enter the Japanese industry group. The move comes ahead of Japan’s planned implementation of new rules for crypto-asset service intermediary businesses in June 2026. As a BCCC member, Bitget Wallet said it will take part in policy discussions around how self-custody wallets should be defined and positioned within a compliance framework. The company also said it plans to contribute its global operating experience in self-custody wallets to regulatory dialogue in Japan and support broader awareness and use of on-chain everyday finance among Japanese users. Founded in 2016, BCCC describes itself as Japan’s first and largest blockchain industry association. It has more than 270 member companies and runs multiple specialist committees, including groups focused on DeFi and stablecoins. The alliance has long served as a channel for policy communication and coordination between Japan’s blockchain industry and regulators.
