Sign InIn a move reflecting the accelerating institutional adoption of blockchain technology, Japan's SBI Group has announced a strategic partnership with Ondo Finance to drive tokenized finance growth in Japan. According to reports, the partnership will focus on bringing Japanese stocks onto the blockchain and expanding the usage of the JPYSC stablecoin. This collaboration aims to accelerate the growth of Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization and blockchain-based financial services within the Japanese market.
This initiative comes amid intensifying competition in the asset tokenization sector, as giants like BlackRock, through its BUIDL fund, seek to capture a share of a market projected by Boston Consulting Group to reach $16 trillion by 2030. Compared to its peers, SBI is strengthening its position by integrating local stablecoins with traditional assets, leveraging its long-standing relationship with Ripple to enhance cross-border payment infrastructure, per market data.
Regarding market performance, SBI Group shares (9984.T) stood at 5961 JPY at close July 16, 2026, having reached a day high of 6145 JPY. Investors are closely monitoring Japanese regulatory updates regarding stablecoins as a future catalyst for sector growth, while global markets await the U.S. Monetary Policy Report on July 10, 2026, for its broader impact on risk sentiment within the digital asset space.
