ecently, ENI announced strategic partnerships with two influential Japanese institutions—NTT Digital, a core subsidiary of NTT Group, and BitTrade, one of Japan’s most strictly regulated and fully licensed crypto asset exchanges. The news has been covered by leading Japanese industry media such as CoinPost and PR Times, marking a new phase in ENI’s rapid market deployment and industrialization in Japan.

Partnership with NTT Digital: Enterprise-Grade Blockchain Infrastructure Enters Japan’s Mainstream Market

As a core subsidiary of Japan’s telecommunications giant NTT Group, NTT Digital will serve as ENI’s “compliant infrastructure anchor” for enterprise-level deployments.

NTT has ranked among the world’s top 10 IT service providers and remains No. 1 in the Japanese market for many consecutive years. With partial government ownership and origins as a state-owned telecom enterprise, NTT also serves as the chairing organization of the Japan Information Technology Services Industry Association (JISA), giving it significant influence over industry standards and technological development.

In this partnership:

• ENIwill provide NTT Digital with core technology resources from its enterprise-grade high-performance blockchain platform, ENI Blockchain.
• NTT Digitalwill build ENI-compatible infrastructure for enterprise clients.

Both parties will collaborate to promote blockchain adoption among Japanese domestic enterprises, driving practical implementations in finance, commerce, supply chain, and other sectors. The partnership aims to deliver high-performance, low-cost, and regulation-aligned Web3 infrastructure for Japanese businesses.

This strategic cooperation significantly strengthens ENI’s compliance credibility and feasibility in the enterprise market, enabling ENI to enter Japan’s mainstream business ecosystem. Meanwhile, NTT’s global presence across 57 countries and regions will offer additional opportunities for ENI’s international expansion.

Partnership with BitTrade: ENI Gains Access to Japan’s Highest-Level Compliance Gateway

While the cooperation with NTT Digital lays ENI’s technological foundation in the enterprise sector, its partnership with BitTrade provides crucial support for ENI’s compliant ecosystem in Japan.

BitTrade holds a highly scarce set of licenses in Japan, including:

• Crypto Asset Exchange License
• Type I Financial Instruments Business License— Japan’s highest-level financial regulatory license, with extremely strict requirements

The Type I license is typically held only by major securities groups such as Nomura and Daiwa. Its scope covers underwriting, derivatives, listing advisory, and other high-barrier financial services. As such, BitTrade is regarded as one of the crypto asset institutions under close consideration by the Financial Services Agency (FSA).

Through this strategic partnership, ENI’s compliance positioning within Japan’s highly regulated environment is strongly validated. Going forward, BitTrade will serve as a key compliance gateway for ENI’s broader ecosystem, significantly reducing the cooperation barriers between ENI’s enterprise-grade blockchain network and traditional institutions.

Convergence of Technology, Compliance, Enterprise Markets, and Globalization

ENI’s consecutive partnerships with NTT Digital and BitTrade carry three major strategic implications:

1. Tier-1 Institutional Endorsement Boosts Enterprise Customer Trust

NTT’s mainstream industry status and BitTrade’s high-level regulatory licenses provide ENI with multi-layered credibility, lowering traditional enterprises’ hesitation toward adopting Web3 technologies.

2. Establishing a Complete Localized Deployment Loop

From blockchain infrastructure, node deployment, and compliant trading to local ecosystem promotion, ENI has built a full support chain in Japan, laying the groundwork for large-scale adoption.

3. Creating a Replicable International Model for Global Expansion

Japan’s strict regulatory framework and mature industrial ecosystem provide a blueprint. ENI’s successful deployment here will offer a replicable model for Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe, and other markets.

ENI: Entering a New Stage of Global Expansion

With strategic partnerships now established with both NTT Digital and BitTrade, ENI has formally completed its core layout in Japan across technology, enterprise adoption, and regulatory compliance.

Moving forward, the partners will facilitate broader enterprise-level blockchain implementations in Japan and explore deeper collaboration across policy systems, industry associations, and corporate groups.

This strategic advancement in Japan marks a significant milestone in ENI’s global expansion, laying the foundation for ENI to become a key enterprise-grade Web3 infrastructure platform.
