ENI accelerates its global expansion, forging strategic partnerships with a dual-licensed exchange and an IT giant in Japan.

Recently, ENI announced strategic partnerships with two key industry players in Japan: NTT Digital, a core subsidiary of the NTT Group, and BitTrade, a compliant cryptocurrency exchange in Japan. This news has garnered attention from Japanese industry media outlets CoinPost and PR Times, marking a new phase in ENI's rapid rollout and industrialization in the Japanese market.

NTT Digital Partnership: Enterprise-Grade Blockchain Infrastructure Enters the Mainstream Japanese Market

As one of the core subsidiaries of NTT Group, a Japanese telecommunications giant, NTT Digital will become ENI's "compliance infrastructure fulcrum" for implementation in the enterprise market.

NTT has consistently ranked among the top ten global IT service companies and is number one in the Japanese market for many years. With government backing, it was formerly a state-owned telecommunications company and serves as the chairman unit of the Japan Information Industry Association (JISA), wielding significant influence in industry standard setting and technological research.

In this collaboration, ENI will provide NTT Digital with its core technology resources, including its enterprise-grade high-performance blockchain platform , ENI Blockchain ; NTT Digital, in turn, will build infrastructure compatible with ENI for its enterprise clients. Furthermore, the two companies will jointly conduct promotional activities targeting Japanese businesses, driving the adoption of blockchain technology in finance, commerce, and supply chain sectors, aiming to provide local enterprises with a higher-performance, lower-cost, and regulatory-compliant Web3 infrastructure environment.

The strategic partnership with NTT Digital will significantly enhance ENI's compliance and credibility in the enterprise market, improve the feasibility of ENI's implementation in the enterprise market, and facilitate its entry into the mainstream Japanese market. At the same time, NTT's global business network spanning 57 countries and regions will also provide ENI with more opportunities for its future global expansion.

BitTrade Partnership: Providing a Compliance Gateway for ENIs

The partnership with NTT Digital laid the foundation for ENI's technology implementation on the enterprise side, while the strategic partnership with BitTrade provided important support for ENI's compliance ecosystem in Japan.

BitTrade's licensing system is extremely rare in Japan, including:

• Cipher Asset Exchange Business License

• Category 1 Financial Products Trading Permit (the highest level of financial regulation in Japan, with high entry requirements)

The first category of financial product brokerage licenses falls under Japan's relatively strict financial regulatory system and is usually held by large securities groups (such as Nomura and Daiwa). Its business scope covers high-barrier businesses such as securities underwriting, derivatives, and IPO counseling.

Based on its strategic partnership with BitTrade, ENI's compliance within a robust regulatory framework has been effectively validated. This will become an important compliance channel for the ENI ecosystem in the future. At the same time, the barriers to cooperation with traditional institutions and enterprises will be significantly lowered during the expansion of ENI's enterprise-level public chain ecosystem.

The convergence of technology, compliance, enterprise market, and globalization strategies

This continued collaboration between ENI and NTT Digital and BitTrade has three strategic implications:

First, it gains endorsement from top-tier institutions, raising the trust threshold for enterprise clients. NTT's mainstream market background and BitTrade's compliance license provide ENI with multi-layered market trust endorsement, helping to reduce the concerns of traditional enterprises when adopting Web3 technology.

Secondly, it has built a complete localized implementation loop. From the blockchain underlying layer, node deployment, compliant transactions to local ecosystem promotion, ENI has formed a complete support chain in Japan, laying the foundation for future large-scale implementation.

Third, it provides replicable international solutions for the global market, enhancing its global expansion capabilities. The Japanese market boasts a rigorous regulatory system and a mature industrial chain. ENI's successful implementation there will provide replicable experience for its expansion into markets such as South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

Conclusion: ENI's global expansion enters a new stage

With the successful implementation of its partnerships with NTT Digital and BitTrade, ENI has officially completed its core strategic layout in the Japanese market, encompassing "technology, enterprise, and compliance," laying a crucial foundation for becoming an important platform for enterprise-level Web3 infrastructure.

In the future, both parties will promote the implementation of more enterprise-level blockchain applications in Japan and explore deeper cooperation among policy systems, industry associations and enterprise groups.
