Ondo Finance, a tokenised real-world assets platform, and Japanese financial conglomerate SBI Group have partnered.
The collaboration will see both firms bring Japanese equities onchain, distribute Ondo tokenised products across the SBI Group ecosystem, and adopt JPYSC, SBI’s yen-pegged stablecoin, for use in onchain settlement and collateral.
The companies also intend to work towards the cross-promotion of one another’s products and services through their respective customers, channels, and strategic partners.
Overall, SBI and Ondo aim to bridge Japan’s capital markets with the global tokenised economy, expanding investor access to Japanese assets and laying the foundations for onchain yen-denominated settlement.
Commenting on the partnership, Ian De Bode, CEO of Ondo Finance, says: “Japan is one of the most sophisticated capital markets in the world, and SBI sits at the centre of it.
“This collaboration creates a path to bring Japanese assets onchain and to connect Japan with the global tokenised economy.”
Yoshitaka Kitao, representative director, chairman, president, and CEO of SBI Holdings, adds: “We believe Ondo will be a key strategic partner as SBI Group forms a global corridor for digital assets, and we look forward to rapidly advancing a wide range of initiatives together.”
