Coincheck Staking Surpasses 400,000 Users and 1.7 Billion Yen in Cumulative Reward Payouts
~10 Years Since Offering Ethereum; Automatic Receipt of Staking Rewards Enhances the Appeal of Long-Term Holding~
Coincheck, Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Chairman, Representative Director & Executive Director: Satoshi Hasuo; hereinafter the “Company”) is pleased to announce that “Coincheck Staking”-a service offered by “Coincheck,” the crypto asset trading service that has ranked No. 1 in Japan for app downloads for seven consecutive years (*1)-has surpassed 400,000 users. Additionally, the cumulative amount of rewards paid to users (estimated) since the launch of the staking service on January 31, 2025, has reached 1.7 billion yen (*2).
The Company offers “Coincheck Staking” for the cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH). Users holding ETH on Coincheck can automatically receive staking rewards without any special procedures or applications (*3). This seamless experience has become a new incentive for purchasing and holding ETH over the long term.
ETH is a cryptocurrency with a long history and proven track record, and at Coincheck, it is the second-most traded cryptocurrency after Bitcoin (BTC). The first transaction on the Ethereum blockchain was recorded on August 7, 2015, and Coincheck began offering ETH on its exchange seven months later, on March 14, 2016. This was the earliest launch among current domestic cryptocurrency exchanges (*4), and the first executed price on the Coincheck marketplace was 1 ETH
= 1,484 yen. This year, marking the 10th anniversary since the start of support, the price of ETH on March 14, 2026, reached 1 ETH = 331,987 yen.

*2 Rewards are paid in ETH. The yen-equivalent is an estimate calculated by multiplying the cumulative ETH payment amount by the simple average of the daily closing price of ETH in yen on Coincheck from the first payment date to the most recent payment date.
*3 Users who do not wish to receive rewards can complete a procedure to opt out.

About Coincheck Staking
Coincheck Staking is a staking service provided by Coincheck.
Staking refers to a mechanism where users perform certain actions with cryptocurrencies that utilize Proof of Stake, contributing to the stable operation of the blockchain in exchange for rewards. A staking service is a service in which we stake a specified amount of the eligible cryptocurrencies held in trust by our users and distribute a portion of the resulting rewards to them.
With Coincheck Staking, users can receive rewards simply by holding eligible cryptocurrencies in users’ account, without the need for any special procedures or applications. Additionally, unlike when staking directly as an individual, there is no lock-up of users’ cryptocurrencies, and there are no restrictions on transferring or selling the eligible cryptocurrencies.
