Based on my experience and a careful review of Ando Securities’ current offering, it is not possible to deposit cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or USDT into an Ando Securities account. The company is primarily a traditional Japanese securities broker regulated by the Financial Services Agency (FSA), focusing on conventional financial instruments such as stocks, investment trusts, bonds, futures/options, and insurance products. From my analysis, their trading platform “Chura Net 24” supports transactions related to these instruments, and there is no indication that any form of cryptocurrency is supported for deposits or trading. Furthermore, the minimum deposit requirements for Ando Securities are stated explicitly in Japanese yen: 300,000 yen for internet trading and 1,000,000 yen for face-to-face transactions. This kind of specific fiat currency threshold typically excludes crypto deposits. As someone who prioritizes regulatory clarity and security, I note that FSA-regulated brokers in Japan rarely offer crypto funding unless specifically licensed—a detail that is not present here. Additionally, the official website has reported accessibility issues, warranting additional caution. For me, sticking to direct Japanese yen transfers as outlined by the broker is the only prudent approach, especially given the complete absence of crypto-related features in their core business. I always recommend confirming with customer service for any updates, but as of now, cryptocurrency deposits are not supported at Ando Securities.
