Japan has launched a blockchain pilot to modernize its $7.5 trillion Japanese Government Bond (JGB) collateral system. The Japan Securities Clearing Corporation, Mizuho Financial Group, and Nomura Holdings are working with Digital Asset Holdings on the Canton Network. The project enables real-time, 24/7 cross-border movement of JGBs while preserving their legal status under Japanese law. Backed by the Financial Services Agency, it aims to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and align Japan’s financial infrastructure with global tokenization trends without using public crypto.
