The Coincheck Bitcoin Exchange application downloaded 1.7 million times after the renewal of registration

The number of downloads of the mobile application of the Japanese stock exchange Coincheck since the renewal of registration of new accounts in October 2018 reached 1.73 million. This is evidenced by the report of the online broker Monex Group, which owns the site, Bitcoin.com writes.

At the end of December, more than 900,000 new users confirmed their identity.

Monex Group notes that the resumption of activity has allowed the exchange to halve losses – from 588 million ($ 5.39 million) to 324 million yen (about $ 2.97 million). The company's revenue was $ 4.59 million compared to $ 2.75 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Rehabilitation of the exchange contributes to improving the security system and obtaining a license from the Financial Services Agency of Japan.

Monex Group also announced that the company has set up a blockchain laboratory, BCLab, to develop technology solutions and attract new customers.

Recall that in early January 2019, the Coincheck cryptocurrency exchange resumed its work after breaking a year ago, as a result of which NEM cryptocurrency was stolen for a total of 58 billion yen ($ 533 million) at that time.
