* This table is the Tokubaku Editorial Team’s summary of BITNAVI’s answers as of the time of the interview. BITNAVI is an information media outlet, not an FX broker. Views on operations and licensing in the body of the article are those of the respondent. The registrations and licenses required differ depending on the specific business activities and the regions covered. The networks supported for USDT deposits and the ways of converting to Japanese yen differ by exchange, so please check each company’s official information.

01What Kind of Media Outlet Is BITNAVI?

Tokubaku Editorial Team

What kind of media outlet is BITNAVI? Please also tell us about your readership.

BITNAVI

BITNAVI is an information site that focuses on overseas cryptocurrencies and overseas crypto exchanges. For offshore FX, we also run a media outlet called “Kaigai FX Navi.” In addition, we offer crypto news, a price checker and a community message board, so that everything from doing your research to discussing it with others can be done on a single site.

02The Editorial Team

Tokubaku Editorial Team

How is your editorial team set up to produce articles?

BITNAVI

The site is run with our Editor-in-Chief, Satoshi Nakamoto, at its center. Nakamoto has more than five years of experience trading crypto FX. The editorial team also includes members who have traded on exchanges in Japan and abroad, as well as members who have worked at overseas exchanges.

03What Matters Most in Making Articles

Tokubaku Editorial Team

What does BITNAVI value most when producing articles?

BITNAVI

Delivering overseas information in a form that Japanese readers can use as it is. Overseas exchanges and brokers often have terms available only in English, and their conditions change frequently. We keep following the latest information and try to provide both explanations for beginners and analysis for advanced users.

04What to Know Before Receiving USDT

Tokubaku Editorial Team

More and more people are receiving their offshore FX cashback in USDT. What should people who are not used to cryptocurrency know first?

BITNAVI

The most important thing is to always match the network. USDT runs on multiple networks, such as TRC20 and ERC20. If the sending side and the receiving side use different networks, it may become impossible to recover the USDT that was sent. Always enter the receiving address by copy and paste. When receiving a transfer for the first time, it can also help to do one test with a small amount.

05Receiving to an Exchange or a Personal Wallet

Tokubaku Editorial Team

Which do you recommend as the destination for receiving USDT: an exchange or a personal wallet?

BITNAVI

If you plan to convert it to Japanese yen, receiving it in an exchange account is the easy option. However, the networks supported differ from exchange to exchange. Be sure to check in advance whether you can deposit USDT on TRC20. If you plan to hold the USDT you receive for a long time, another option is to move it to a wallet where you manage the private keys yourself. In that case, the basic premise is that you never share your private keys or recovery phrase with anyone and store them offline.

06Preparing for Changes to the Deposit and Withdrawal Environment

Tokubaku Editorial Team

In 2026, the environment around deposits and withdrawals changed significantly, with Bitget announcing the end of its services for residents of Japan and the amended Payment Services Act coming into force. How should traders prepare?

BITNAVI

Don’t rely on just one exchange or one transfer route. Any exchange you use could end its services. If you have several places to receive funds ready, you can respond even to sudden changes. Please make a habit of checking changes to terms and transfer rules in official announcements. It is also important not to make judgments based only on rumors on social media.

07What to Look for When Choosing a Cashback Site

Tokubaku Editorial Team

When choosing an offshore FX cashback site, what points does BITNAVI consider most important?

BITNAVI

Don’t choose based only on the rebate rate figure. We look at whether the operating company and its location are disclosed, whether the rebate mechanism is explained, and whether the withdrawal methods and conditions are clear. Because no license is required to operate a cashback site, transparency of operation becomes all the more important as a basis for judgment.

08How BITNAVI Sees Tokubaku’s Rebate Mechanism

Tokubaku Editorial Team

Tokubaku discloses that it returns up to 90% of its IB commission. How do you view this mechanism?

BITNAVI

I think disclosing the source of the rebate and the percentage makes things easy for users to understand. A display like “$X per lot” alone doesn’t tell you how much the site itself is receiving. Sending payments in USDT, with the TxID verifiable on the blockchain, is also a reasonable method from the perspective of a crypto media outlet. On the other hand, it can be a hurdle for people used to bank transfers, so I think it is important to keep providing careful guidance on how to receive USDT.

09How Editorial Neutrality Is Maintained

Tokubaku Editorial Team

BITNAVI also acts as an introducing agent for brokers. How do you keep your articles neutral?

BITNAVI

Our policy is not to change an article’s conclusions based on whether a partnership exists. We publish not only the good points but also the caveats and risks as they are. In interview articles, explanations from a broker are presented strictly as what its representative said.

10Future Plans and a Message to Readers

Tokubaku Editorial Team

Please tell us about your future plans and give a message to Tokubaku’s readers.

BITNAVI

We will continue to deliver the latest information on overseas cryptocurrencies and offshore FX to Japanese readers in an easy-to-understand way. We also want to strengthen community features such as the message board and expand the space where readers can exchange information with one another. Depositing and withdrawing with cryptocurrency is by no means difficult once you understand how it works. Take your time, start with small amounts, and find the way of receiving funds that suits you.

After the Interview (Editorial Summary)

In this interview, we asked BITNAVI about everything from the basics of receiving cashback in USDT to choosing where to receive it, preparing for changes to the deposit and withdrawal environment, and how to evaluate cashback sites. Here we organize the points from the conversation that left an impression on us.

  • BITNAVI is an information site focused on overseas cryptocurrencies and crypto exchanges, and for offshore FX it also runs “Kaigai FX Navi.” The site also offers news, a price checker and a message board
  • The most important thing when receiving USDT is to match the network (TRC20, ERC20, etc.) between the sending and receiving sides. BITNAVI advised entering the receiving address by copy and paste and noted that testing with a small amount the first time can also help
  • According to the explanation, receiving in an exchange account is the easy option if you plan to convert to Japanese yen, but you need to check in advance whether the exchange accepts USDT deposits on TRC20. For long-term holding, moving funds to a wallet is another option, on the premise that private keys and the recovery phrase are stored offline
  • In BITNAVI’s view, you should not rely on just one exchange or transfer route but have several places to receive funds ready, and check changes to terms and transfer rules in official announcements. It is important not to make judgments based only on rumors on social media
  • According to the explanation, BITNAVI does not choose cashback sites based only on the rebate rate figure, but looks at whether the operating company and its location are disclosed, whether the rebate mechanism is explained, and whether the withdrawal methods and conditions are clear
  • According to the explanation, while also acting as an introducing agent for brokers, BITNAVI’s policy is not to change an article’s conclusions based on whether a partnership exists, and to publish caveats and risks as they are

What stood out to us throughout the interview was an approach that, rather than treating crypto payments as something difficult to keep at arm’s length, reduces anxiety through concrete steps such as checking the network and sending a small test transfer. For those receiving cashback in USDT, the conversation was a useful reference for organizing what to check before a transfer.

Tokubaku was also recently interviewed by BITNAVI. BITNAVI says it plans to strengthen community features such as its message board, and we look forward to seeing how its information for Japanese readers continues to expand.
