Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Coincheck Group N.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company on January 2, 2026 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to the offer and sale from time to time by the Company of up to a maximum of $200,000,000 aggregate offering price of a presently indeterminate amount of the following securities (a) ordinary share with a nominal value of one eurocent (EUR 0.01) (the “Ordinary Shares”), (b) purchase contracts of the Company (the “Purchase Contracts”), which may be issued under one or more purchase contract agreements (each, a “Purchase Contract Agreement”), between the Company and the purchase contract agent to be named therein (the “Purchase Contract Agent”), (c) warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”), which may be issued under one or more warrant agreements (each, a “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and the warrant agent to be named therein (the “Warrant Agent”), (d) subscription rights to purchase Company securities (“Subscription Rights”) which may be issued under one or more subscription rights agreements (each, a “Subscription Rights Agreement”), (e) secured or unsecured debt securities (“Debt Securities”) consisting of notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness, which may include senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities, each of which may be convertible into equity securities, which may be issued under one or more debt indentures (a “Indenture”), between the Company and the trustee to be named therein (the “Trustee”) or without the use of an Indenture to the extent such issuance without an Indenture is exempt under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (f) units of the Company (the “Units”), which may be issued under one or more unit agreements (each, a “Unit Agreement”), by and among the Company, a bank or trust company, as unit agent to be named therein (the “Unit Agent”), and the holders from time to time of the Units.
We, as your counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all documents filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that have not been executed will conform to the forms thereof, (iv) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (v) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (vi) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vii) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion:
1.When the Purchase Contract Agreement to be entered into in connection with the issuance of any Purchase Contracts has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company; the specific terms of the Purchase Contracts have been duly authorized and established in accordance with the Purchase Contract Agreement; and such Purchase Contracts have been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered in accordance with the Purchase Contract Agreement and the applicable underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor, such Purchase Contracts will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability.

5.When the Unit Agreement to be entered into in connection with the issuance of any Units has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Unit Agent and the Company; the specific terms of the Units have been duly authorized and established in accordance with the Unit Agreement; and such Units have been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered in accordance with the Unit Agreement and the applicable underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor, such Units will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability.
In connection with the opinions expressed above, we have assumed that, at or prior to the time of the delivery of any such security, (i) the Board of Directors of the Company, as required under Dutch law, shall have duly established the terms of such security (and that such security is governed by the laws of the State of New York) and duly authorized the issuance and sale of such security and such authorization shall not have been modified or rescinded; (ii) the Company is, and shall remain, validly existing as a corporation in good standing (to the extent such concept exists) under the laws of Ireland; (iii) the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective and such effectiveness shall not have been terminated or rescinded; (iv) the applicable Purchase Contract Agreement, Warrant Agreement, Subscription Rights Agreement, Indenture, Debt Securities, Guarantees, and Unit Agreement are each valid, binding and enforceable agreements of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company); and (v) there shall not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity or enforceability of such security. We have also assumed that the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of any Debt Security whose terms are established subsequent to the date hereof (a) are within its corporate powers, (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, the articles of association or other constitutive documents of the Company, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under public policy, any provision of applicable law or regulation or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company.
We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York. Insofar as the foregoing opinion involves matters governed by Dutch law, we have relied, without independent inquiry or investigation, on the opinion of De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V. delivered to you today.

In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
