Z.com Coin offers two types of services - virtual currency FX, which is an over-the-counter (OTC) bitcoin margin trading, and virtual currency trading, which enables buying and selling of virtual currency in JPY – in addition to basic features allowing customers to send and receive bitcoins.

Virtual currency FX transactions have both bid (Bid) and asked (Ask) prices displayed simultaneously (two-way price quotation) and customers used to conventional FX trading (OTC FX transactions) will find the interface familiar. The maximum amount of leverage enabled will be set at 25:1 (generally 5:1).

Virtual currency trading is a spot trading and a customer who wants to buy bitcoin can easily use it. In addition to using purchased virtual currency for payment, customers can send it from Z.com Coin wallet to other wallets.

■A safe and secure system for trading virtual currency

GMO-Z.com Coin utilizes systems that comply with various laws and regulations, including an ID verification system, as they aim to offer a safe service for both current and future traders of virtual currencies.

In addition to segregating the assets that GMO-Z.com Coin keeps for customers, GMO-Z.com Coin has a security system as a virtual currency antitheft measure, adopting offline storage by cold storage, which is separated from the Internet, and multi-signature (multiple signature), which requires multiple keys to move the funds.

GMO-Z.com Coin is preparing not only inquiry form on the website but also call center and live chat as a customer support.

■Opening a Z.com Coin account

Ethereum and other types of virtual currency, in addition to bitcoin, will be available in the future. GMO-Z.com Coin will continue to develop various tools, including trading app and charts, and expand service features, promoting Z.com Coin.
