According to Nikkei News, Takaya Togayashi, president of Osaka Exchange, a subsidiary of the Japan Exchange Group, said in an interview with NIKKEI Financial that the exchange is considering launching Bitcoin futures in 2028 to meet institutional investors’ risk-hedging needs for investing in Bitcoin ETFs. The report said Japan’s Financial Services Agency plans to amend the Enforcement Order of the Investment Trust Act before 2028 to include crypto assets within the scope of “specified assets,” the main investment target for investment trusts, paving the way for asset management firms to launch investment trust products that include crypto assets.

2028 feels a bit far off, but the Japanese Financial Services Agency is moving quite steadily, first amending the laws and then launching products. Institutional funds entering the market could be just around the corner.

The Osaka Exchange is also launching Bitcoin futures, in response to ETF hedging needs. With this combination of measures, the East Asian crypto derivatives market is about to change dramatically.
