Laser Digital Japan (LDJ) — a digital asset firm specialising in trading, asset management, solutions, and early-stage investing — has announced its participation in a proof‑of‑concept (PoC) project led by Hitachi, and supported by the Japan Financial Services Authority (FSA).
The move looks to evaluate a new collaborative framework for anti‑money laundering (AML) measures related to crypto assets and stablecoins.
A total of 16 companies, including Laser Digital Japan, will be taking part in this three-month-long trial to be held from March to May 2026.
The PoC will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a private sector information sharing framework designed to enhance AML capabilities in the digital asset ecosystem.
Additionally, the project aims to determine how coordinated data sharing among relevant entities can improve detection accuracy, reduce operational burdens, and strengthen market integrity.
The project is conducted within the framework of the FinTech PoC Hub, which was established by the FSA in 2017.
Commenting on the participation, Hideaki Kudo, representative director at LDJ, says: “As a company that puts compliance and regulation at the heart of our operations, Laser Digital Japan is honoured to collaborate with Hitachi and other participating organisations under the JFSA FinTech PoC Hub.
“We believe that establishing robust and transparent AML frameworks is essential for continued growth and institutional adoption of digital assets. We look forward to contributing our expertise to advance regulatory innovation in Japan’s rapidly evolving digital assets space.”
