Crypto World News reports that, according to Nikkei News, Akira Toggaya, President of the Osaka Exchange, a subsidiary of Japan Exchange Group, said in an interview with Nikkei Financial that the exchange is considering launching Bitcoin futures in 2028 to meet the risk-hedging needs of institutional investors that invest in Bitcoin ETFs. In addition, Japan’s Financial Services Agency plans to modify the Implementation Decree of the Investment Trust Act before 2028 to include crypto assets within the scope of “specified assets,” the primary investment target for investment trusts, paving the way for asset management firms to launch investment trust products that include crypto assets.

The demand for ETF hedging is really high; once futures are introduced, liquidity should improve significantly.
