Coincheck's FY3/25 Financial Results

Coincheck Group has reported its first full fiscal year results, after listing on Nasdaq through a SPAC transaction at the end of last year. Before we get into the results announcement, however, let us take a look at where Coincheck fits into the overall Monex Group.

Overview

Monex Group has re-organized its business segments from April 2025 onwards as shown above. Post-Nasdaq listing, Monex Group still holds 83% of Coincheck Group. The strategy behind going public was always for Coincheck to have a "currency" for talent acquisition & retention, as well as for M&A. This strategy has been put immediately into action with the acquisition of Next Finance Tech,  a blockchain infrastructure company headquartered in Tokyo, in February 2025.

Driving synergies across Monex Group, Monex Securities is considering obtaining a crypto assets brokerage business license, which is currently being formulated, while Coincheck and 3iQ plan to collaborate in crypto asset management.

With its strong reputation and large customer base, Coincheck promotes not only trading services but services for corporate entities and institutional investors to support their Web3 business.

Coincheck continues to attract customers as one of Japan’s premier and most trusted crypto assets trading platform.

Coincheck is the leading player in the Japanese Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) market, completing the most IEOs. It is now preparing for the 4th IEO with Fanpla.
