SBI VC Trade Adds Litecoin to Japanese Lending Program

3분 읽기
  • SBI VC Trade added Litecoin to its regulated lending program for Japanese users. 
  • LTC holders can earn yield through fixed-term lending on a fully FSA-licensed exchange.
  • LTC price sits near long-term support, eyeing a breakout of the broader market rallies.

SBI VC Trade, the crypto exchange arm of Japan’s SBI Holdings, has added Litecoin to its lending service. Applications opened on January 29, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. JST under the platform’s “Lending Coin” program.

Notably, Japanese users can now lend LTC and earn interest directly through a fully licensed domestic exchange.

The service is available only to verified users in Japan. Repayment is made in LTC, including earned fees. Early termination is not allowed, and any hard forks during the lending period do not result in additional token payouts.

How the Lending Program Works

SBI VC Trade operates under Japan’s Financial Services Agency and offers spot trading, staking, and lending. The lending program supports more than 30 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC, BCH, DOT, LINK, ADA, DOGE, and SHIB.

Assets are lent for fixed terms, typically between 7 and 28 days. Interest is calculated using a fixed formula based on the amount lent, the annual rate, and the lending period.

Annual rates vary by asset and term and can reach up to 20% for certain offerings. Lending income is treated as miscellaneous income under Japanese tax law.

Litecoin launched in 2011 as a faster payment-focused network with lower fees than Bitcoin. As of February 3, LTC trades near $59, with a market capitalization of about $4.57 billion and daily volume around $462 million.

LTC Price Structure on the Weekly Chart

LTC trades near the $58 to $60 zone after failing to hold above $90 earlier in the cycle. The weekly chart shows price moving back into a long-term demand area between $50 and $55. This zone has acted as support multiple times since 2022.

Momentum indicators are weak but stabilizing. RSI sits below the midpoint, and the next resistance sits near $80, followed by a broader supply zone between $110 and $135, where price was rejected in 2024 and 2025.

If the $50 support holds, LTC could attempt a rebound toward $80. A weekly close above that level would open room toward $110 and $135. In a stronger market cycle, extension targets stretch toward $190, $236, and $260.

The bearish case remains a breakdown below $50. That would expose downside toward $42 and then $35. However, a move into those levels would signal broader market weakness rather than a Litecoin-specific failure.
