CoinBureau News: Metaplanet announced it will conduct a study aimed at introducing Bitcoin as collateral into Japan’s digital credit market. As the third-largest publicly listed holder of Bitcoin, Metaplanet is exploring whether Bitcoin can be used for credit instruments that accumulate daily interest. The company said digitization would enable these instruments to be traded and settled 24/7/365. The research team will also include Siiibo Securities, JPY Coin, and Progmat. Metaplanet currently holds 43,000 BTC, worth approximately $2.47 billion.

If this collateral route works, the institutional entry logic changes completely—from speculative assets to productive capital.

Daily interest accrual + 24/7 trading—doesn’t that basically bring DeFi ideas into TradFi? Interesting.

Metaplanet’s move here is brilliant. Has BTC collateral entering the credit market meant that Japan’s traditional finance is about to start a real, long-awaited integration?

The third-largest listed holder is doing this—it's basically vindicating BTC: not just hodling, but also earning interest

43k BTC as collateral, a scale of $2.47 billion—if this liquidity can be reactivated, it’ll be something else.
