SBI emphasizes that BCH’s removal is nothing more than a coincidence. It claims that prior to it it had held extensive talks with the Japanese Virtual Currencies Exchange Association.
The company also cited the decreasing market cap of the Bitcoin Cash, which is responsible for the “51 percent attack”, as a reason for its removal. SBI pointed out:
“This material is not part of the rules for the management system of virtual currency-related information of Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Business Association.”
Too cozy with Mr. Wright?
However, Wright’s close relations with Yoshitaka Kitao, CEO and representative director of SBI Holdings, are making some doubt the true nature of this decision. Kitao has previously criticized BCH hardfork and cozied up to Wright. The latter happens to characterize him as “a friend and man I respect a lot.”
