Zaif Exchange is a leading cryptocurrency exchange platform based in Japan, offering a comprehensive suite of services to both individual and institutional traders. Established with the aim of creating a secure, efficient, and user-friendly platform, Zaif has rapidly grown to become one of Japan's top exchanges for cryptocurrency trading.
Zaif is a Japanese centralized cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) that has been at the forefront of the digital asset space since its inception. One of the first exchanges to receive a license from Japan's Financial Services Agency (JFSA), Zaif quickly became a trusted platform for buying, selling, and trading cryptocurrencies. At its peak in 2018, it was ranked as the 35th largest exchange globally by trading volume.
However, in September 2018, Zaif faced a significant setback when its hot wallets were hacked, resulting in the theft of approximately $60 million in digital assets. This unfortunate event led to the suspension of operations and a major turning point in the company’s journey.
In response to the hack, Zaif entered into a strategic bailout agreement with FISCO, a leading Japanese brokerage. FISCO injected 5 billion yen (around $44.7 million) to restore stability to the platform, and in November 2018, Zaif was officially acquired by FISCO Digital Asset Group Co. Ltd. This marked the beginning of Zaif's renewed commitment to security, transparency, and user protection.
Zaif deeply regrets the incident and is fully committed to ensuring that such an event never happens again. As part of this commitment, Zaif has partnered with Marblex, a renowned Korean blockchain company, to enhance the security and protection of user funds. This collaboration brings cutting-edge blockchain technology and robust security measures to the platform, reaffirming Zaif’s dedication to offering a safe and reliable trading experience.
With the backing of FISCO and Marblex, Zaif has made significant strides in improving its infrastructure and security protocols. Moving forward, the exchange is committed to rebuilding trust, providing exceptional services, and maintaining the highest standards of safety for its users.
