Descriptiontext

HashPort is a Tokyo-based Web3 infrastructure company founded in July 2018 that builds non-custodial digital wallet products and enterprise tokenization tools primarily for the Japanese market. Its core product, HashPort Wallet, is the #1 non-custodial wallet in Japan by downloads (over 1 million cumulative, with the company claiming 84% market share of Japanese yen stablecoin / JPYC users as of March 2026), and supports multi-chain asset management across Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Base, Aptos, BNB Chain, Bitcoin, Arbitrum, and Hedera, with integrated stablecoin payments (JPYC, USDC), gasless transactions, SBT/NFT storage, and on-ramps via Ponta points and au PAY. The company also operates HashPort Wallet Studio (a white-label SDK for embedding non-custodial wallet functionality into enterprise applications), Connect Hub (a no-code SBT issuance and mini-app builder adopted by 170+ organizations, including 170+ partners and government bodies during EXPO2025 that issued 600万+ SBTs), HashPort Wallet for Biz (a zero-fee stablecoin merchant payment service), HashPort Card (Japan's first crypto credit card, issued with Nudge, paying 0.3% JPYC cashback), and the Faucet API for the Hedera network.

The business model blends freemium consumer distribution (free wallet app, zero merchant fees) with enterprise professional services (Wallet Studio SDK contracts with Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, Hitachi, Orico), transaction-based revenue (HashPort Card interchange, HashPort Wallet for Biz settlement), and strategic CVC-backed platform economics via KDDI's 20%+ equity stake and Ponta/au PAY distribution. The company has raised approximately 20 billion yen in cumulative equity across multiple rounds, with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, UTEC, Maezawa Yusaku, KDDI, and Tokyu Real Estate among named investors, and maintains two wholly-owned subsidiaries (HashPalette for NFT infrastructure, HashBank for crypto wallet services). Customers span financial institutions (SMBC, Orico, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Club), large enterprises (Hitachi, KDDI, JR West Japan, Nankai Electric Railway, Tokyu Real Estate, Kansai Electric Power), government bodies (JNTO, Nara Prefecture, ORA), and SMB merchants (Chubo okonomiyaki chain). The company is recognized as Japan's leading domestic Web3 infrastructure provider, anchored by its role as the official digital wallet operator for the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025.

HashPort competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Direct peers

  • MetaMask (Consensys): The world's largest non-custodial Web3 wallet by users, supporting multi-chain assets and DApp connectivity. Directly comparable to HashPort Wallet on consumer-facing self-custody, though MetaMask operates globally while HashPort leads the Japanese market.
  • Trust Wallet (Binance): Binance-owned multi-chain non-custodial wallet with broad token support and DApp browser. Comparable to HashPort Wallet as a global, multi-chain consumer wallet, though Trust Wallet benefits from Binance exchange integration while HashPort focuses on enterprise partnerships.
  • Coinbase Wallet: Self-custodial wallet from Coinbase supporting USDC natively across multiple chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Base). Direct peer given HashPort's adoption of USDC as a primary stablecoin and shared multi-chain, stablecoin-centric wallet positioning.
  • Phantom Wallet: Multi-chain non-custodial wallet (originally Solana, expanded to Ethereum, Polygon, Base). Comparable to HashPort Wallet as a multi-chain consumer wallet with strong UX focus and growing enterprise/merchant integrations.

Broad incumbents

  • bitFlyer: Japan's largest regulated crypto exchange, offering a custodial wallet and trading services. Comparable as a Japanese crypto incumbent, though bitFlyer's model is custodial exchange-based while HashPort's is non-custodial infrastructure.
  • bitbank: Major Japanese crypto exchange with custodial wallet services. Comparable as a domestic Japanese crypto services platform but competes from a centralized exchange angle rather than non-custodial infrastructure.
  • Rakuten Wallet: Custodial crypto wallet and exchange operated by Rakuten Group, leveraging the Rakuten ecosystem (100M+ Rakuten members). Comparable as a Japanese crypto wallet player with strong distribution, though Rakuten Wallet is custodial while HashPort is non-custodial.
  • SBI Holdings (SBI VC Trade): Japanese financial conglomerate with crypto exchange operations and stablecoin initiatives (via Startale). Comparable as a Japanese incumbent building Web3/crypto infrastructure, with SBI's broader financial services footprint providing enterprise distribution.

Emerging players

  • JPYC Inc. Issuer of Japan's first yen-backed stablecoin (JPYC). Direct partner of HashPort for stablecoin payments and wallet integration, and partial competitor in the Japanese yen stablecoin ecosystem, with JPYC being the core asset HashPort Wallet supports.
  • Circle: USDC issuer and stablecoin payment infrastructure provider. Direct partner (HashPort adopted USDC post-EXPO2025) and adjacent competitor in stablecoin payment rails; Circle operates at global scale while HashPort operates regionally in Japan.
