Woofun AI reports that Cardano's ADA and Midnight's NIGHT tokens were listed on S.BLOX, an exchange controlled by Sony On-Chain Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Sony Group Corporation, marking a significant market entry in Japan.
The listing took effect on August 24, 2026, introducing the NIGHT token, the native asset of Midnight, a privacy-focused sidechain within the Cardano ecosystem. This represents the first time NIGHT has been available on a domestic exchange in Japan, with S.BLOX confirming that no other domestic operator previously provided technical support for the token.
Woofun AI data shows that to incentivize adoption, S.BLOX launched promotional campaigns offering rewards of up to 10,000 yen in ADA and 14,000 yen in NIGHT. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson highlighted the significance of this integration, noting the rigorous compliance standards set by the Financial Services Agency of Japan (JFSA). Midnight's mainnet launched in March 2026, following the NIGHT token issuance in December 2025, while S.BLOX was acquired by Sony in August 2023.
Market analysts suggest this listing could enhance liquidity for both assets across the Asian region during the current operating quarter. S.BLOX plans to continue its promotional campaigns for ADA and NIGHT throughout August 2026, reinforcing its strategic focus on regulated digital asset trading.
