According to a report by Nikkei, Japanese securities firms SBI Securities and Daiwa Securities are planning to build a mechanism that will allow overseas investors to invest in Japan security tokens (ST), with trading potentially starting as early as 2027. The report says the two companies will collaborate with digital securities infrastructure company BOOSTRY, whose infrastructure has already been verified for direct trading targeting Singapore. They are also considering using Circle-issued USDC, a USD stablecoin, for settlement to reduce the settlement time and costs of cross-border securities transactions. In addition to corporate bonds and real estate, the investment targets may also include projects related to animation, content, and alcoholic beverages.
