Japan to Trial Real-Time Stock and Bond Settlements with Blockchain
Japan is set to trial real-time stock and bond settlements using blockchain technology. The Financial Services Agency (FSA), Ministry of Finance, Bank of Japan, and financial institutions will launch a study group this summer to explore this initiative. A development plan is expected by early 2027, with operations potentially beginning in the early 2030s. The aim is to eliminate the days-long delays currently baked into traditional markets.17 sourcesSee all sources
