The vouchers will be redeemable through SBI VC Trade, the group’s crypto exchange arm. The supported assets named in the report are Bitcoin, Ether and XRP.
The move comes as financial companies continue to test ways of connecting conventional banking services with digital asset platforms. The structure described by Nikkei does not present the vouchers as direct deposit interest paid in crypto, but as rewards that can be redeemed for selected tokens through SBI VC Trade.
The report did not include additional terms such as voucher amounts, eligibility rules or campaign dates in the provided source material.
