SBI Group will merge its crypto exchange subsidiary SBI VC Trade with its NFT platform arm SBINFT, effective July 1, 2026. This strategic move aims to integrate resources and enhance efficiency as the NFT market shifts toward real-world assets (RWA) and on-chain technologies. While the NFT marketplace 'SBINFT Market' will terminate service on June 30, the marketing platform 'SBINFT Mits' will continue under the new entity to provide comprehensive blockchain solutions for businesses.
