Annual salary is paid with cryptocurrency Ripple! SBI e-Sports has a new SSB category "KEN Player" and FIFA Division "Mikey Player"!

SBI e-Sports, Inc., an e-sports company operated by the SBI Group, which offers financial services such as SBI Securities and SBI Sumishin Net Bank, has launched a new FIFA division and a Smash Bros. division. The SBI Group will be launching the FIFA and Smash Bros. divisions in June 2020.

After the establishment of "SBI e-Sports Corporation" by the SBI Group in June 2020, there has been a lot of attention on how the company will develop its business, and now the players are ready to join.

Compensation is paid in the cryptocurrency Ripple!

PAKUTASO

Both players will be paid in the cryptocurrency "Ripple (XRP)" instead of Japanese yen, in accordance with their wishes and the agreement with the sponsor, SBIVC Trade Co.

SBI established "SBI Ripple Asia K.K." in May 2016 together with Ripple Labs Inc. to provide next-generation payment infrastructure using blockchain technology.

The sponsor, SBIVC Trade Corporation, is also a member of the SBI Group and operates a cryptocurrency exchange and sales office.
The company handles not only Ripple, but also Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Is it safe because it is SBI's exchange?

There are many cryptocurrency (virtual currency) exchanges, but there have been many problems such as scandals and sudden closures, so an exchange operated by a banking group that handles actual currency provides a sense of security.
The author has been investing in virtual currency for six years and has opened accounts at several exchanges, but the biggest concern is not only the fees but also the deposit and withdrawal of Japanese yen.
The ability to smoothly transfer Japanese yen funds to and from SBI Sumishin Net Bank is one of the strengths of the SBI Group.
