ENI has officially entered a new chapter of its global expansion with two major strategic partnerships in Japan — a market known for its stringent regulatory standards, mature enterprise ecosystem, and strong demand for advanced technological infrastructure.
December 16, 2025 – ENI announced collaborations with NTT Digital, a core subsidiary of the telecom giant NTT Group, and BitTrade, one of Japan’s most tightly regulated and fully licensed crypto asset exchanges. These partnerships anchor ENI’s presence in one of the world’s most compliance-driven markets.
The announcements were also featured in leading Japanese media outlets including CoinPost and PR Times, underscoring the momentum and importance of these milestones. Together, these developments mark a decisive step forward in ENI’s deeper deployment, ecosystem expansion, and enterprise-grade adoption across Japan.
NTT Digital partnership: Bringing enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure into Japan’s mainstream market
As a major subsidiary of the globally recognized NTT Group, NTT Digital now serves as ENI’s enterprise infrastructure partner, accelerating blockchain adoption among Japan’s large corporations.
NTT’s stature in the global tech ecosystem is unmatched:
Consistently ranked among the world’s top 10 IT service companies
Japan’s No.1 IT services provider
Formerly a national telecom corporation — still partially backed by the Japanese government
Chair of JISA (Japan Information Technology Services Industry Association), a leading body shaping national technology standards and R&D direction
Through this partnership, ENI and NTT Digital will collaborate across several strategic pillars:
What ENI Contributes
High-performance enterprise blockchain infrastructure: ENI Blockchain
Core technology systems designed and optimized for enterprise-grade deployments
What NTT Digital enables
Development of enterprise infrastructure solutions powered by ENI technology
Delivery of Web3-ready products and services to Japan’s corporate sector
Co-promotion of blockchain adoption across industries including finance, commerce, supply chain, and data services
This partnership significantly elevates ENI’s credibility, compliance readiness, and enterprise feasibility within Japan’s highly regulated environment. And with NTT operating across 57 countries and regions, the collaboration also creates expanded global pathways for ENI’s long-term international growth.
BitTrade partnership: Unlocking Japan’s highest level of crypto compliance
While NTT Digital fortifies ENI’s enterprise technology stack, ENI’s partnership with BitTrade strengthens its position within Japan’s highly regulated compliance ecosystem.
BitTrade is one of the few licensed crypto asset exchanges in Japan, holding both:
Crypto Asset Exchange License
Type I Financial Instruments Business License
The Type I license, which is Japan’s most stringent financial authorization, places BitTrade in the same regulatory tier as major securities groups such as Nomura and Daiwa. This license enables:
Securities underwriting
Derivatives and advanced financial operations
Comprehensive asset-listing and financial product support
Through this partnership, ENI gains a high-trust compliance gateway in one of the world’s strictest regulatory markets. It significantly enhances ENI’s legitimacy and reduces institutional barriers for traditional enterprises exploring blockchain adoption. This alignment with BitTrade’s regulatory strength supports faster, safer, and enterprise-ready deployment of ENI’s blockchain ecosystem across Japan.
Why these partnerships matter: Technology, compliance, and enterprise adoption converge
ENI’s dual alliances with NTT Digital and BitTrade highlight three powerful strategic implications:
1. Institutional endorsement boosts enterprise trust
NTT’s mainstream corporate influence and BitTrade’s regulatory stature together create a multilayered trust structure that reduces entry risk for traditional enterprises transitioning into Web3.
2. ENI has built a complete, localized adoption loop in Japan
ENI now possesses a full stack of deployment capabilities:
Core blockchain infrastructure
Enterprise node deployment
Fully compliant trading gateway
Local ecosystem expansion
This end-to-end pipeline significantly strengthens ENI’s ability to scale enterprise adoption.
3. A globally replicable market model
Japan’s strict regulatory environment and mature enterprise landscape make it an ideal model for ENI’s international strategy. A successful rollout here creates a blueprint ENI can replicate in:
Korea
Southeast Asia
Europe
Other highly regulated markets
ENI enters a new stage of global enterprise expansion
With its partnerships across compliance, infrastructure, and enterprise deployment now solidified, ENI has established a complete strategic foundation in Japan. The collaborations with NTT Digital and BitTrade represent a pivotal turning point—positioning ENI as a serious global contender in the race for enterprise-grade Web3 infrastructure.
ENI’s next phase of expansion will focus on:
Driving enterprise blockchain standards within Japan
Engaging policymakers, regulators, and national industry associations
Accelerating corporate integrations and real-world deployments
Extending this Japan-proven enterprise model to international markets
ENI’s strategic push in Japan is not merely market entry but the creation of a globally replicable blueprint for regulated, enterprise-ready blockchain adoption.
