Based on my careful review of Shin and my own experience navigating different broker platforms, I must approach your question with caution. Shin is a Japanese securities firm that primarily caters to novice investors, focusing on traditional products like domestic stocks, investment trusts, and bonds. The information directly available about Shin shows no mention of support for cryptocurrency deposits such as Bitcoin or USDT. In my experience, regulated firms in Japan—especially those falling under the oversight of the Financial Services Agency (FSA), as Shin does—are typically conservative about introducing crypto features. Shin also lacks an online trading platform, and its available account types are centered around conventional assets, with an emphasis on features like tax-exempt NISA accounts and withholding-tax options for securities. These details suggest to me that Shin’s infrastructure and compliance approach are tailored for established asset classes, rather than digital currencies. For me, client safety is paramount, so I avoid assuming crypto compatibility unless a broker clearly advertises that service on official channels. Until Shin explicitly claims support and provides clear instructions about crypto deposits, I would not attempt to deposit cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or USDT there. Sticking to verified funding methods is the prudent path with any FSA-regulated broker in Japan, and questions about digital assets should be directly verified with Shin’s customer support.
