Feb. 03, 2026 OSE Vintage Bullion DMCC Has Been Approved as an Approved Person in the Chain of Custody Related to the Issuance of Warehouse Receipts for Precious Metals (First Overseas Company to Be Approved)

Today, Osaka Exchange, Inc. (OSE) has officially approved Vintage Bullion DMCC as an approved person in the chain of custody related to the issuance of warehouse receipts for precious metals. Vintage Bullion DMCC is a globally active precious metals trader and the first overseas company to be approved by OSE as such an approved person.

Such approved persons are able to make a wider variety of transactions more flexibly because they can issue the warehouse receipts that are necessary for the settlement by delivery of precious metals through an approved broker member.
The approved broker member for precious metals is YUTAKA TRUSTY SECURITIES CO.,LTD.

Japan is one of the world’s leading consumers of precious metals. Due to their various properties, they are used in a wide range of industries in order to manufacture such products as electronic components, catalyzers, and medical devices. For these reasons, a precious metals futures market was established in Japan in the 1980s to provide Japanese and overseas commercial users and investors with the opportunity and the means to hedge against such risks as price fluctuations.
OSE will continue working to allow a wide range of market stakeholders to participate in its precious metals futures market, to develop an environment that encourages arbitraging with other such markets, and to provide such market stakeholders with price discovery and risk hedging functions.
