Coincheck Group N.V. has announced that its flagship Coincheck, Inc. app secured the No. 1 position for annual downloads in Japan for the 2025 calendar year. This milestone marks the seventh consecutive year since 2019 that Coincheck has led the Japanese crypto app market, underscoring its strong brand trust and sustained user engagement in one of the world’s most regulated digital asset environments.

Further reinforcing this achievement, Coincheck was named the “Regional Crypto App Leader” for Japan in the Investment App Market and Advertising Trends 2025 report by Sensor Tower. The study placed Coincheck alongside globally recognized crypto platforms such as Coinbase in the United States and Upbit, highlighting Coincheck’s role in driving mainstream crypto adoption through strong download momentum and active user participation.
This recognition comes amid a series of strategic moves in the second half of 2025 that have strengthened Coincheck Group’s position not only in Japan, but also on the global stage. A key milestone was the Group’s expansion into Europe through the October 2025 acquisition of Aplo SAS, a regulated digital asset prime brokerage in France. The acquisition provides Coincheck Group with an operational foothold in Europe and opens the door to serving sophisticated institutional clients across the region.

Through Aplo, Coincheck Group has expanded its capabilities to support hedge funds, asset managers, and banks, significantly enhancing its institutional service offerings. This move represents a deliberate shift toward a more diversified global business model, balancing Coincheck’s strong retail presence in Japan with growing institutional demand internationally.
At the infrastructure level, Coincheck Group continues to benefit from the expertise of Next Finance Tech Co., Ltd., acquired in April 2025. This integration supports the delivery of global blockchain infrastructure and staking solutions for both retail and institutional clients, further strengthening the Group’s end-to-end digital asset ecosystem.
