ME News reported that on October 8 (UTC+8), Japan’s Ministry of Finance held the first meeting of the “Study Group on Putting Government Bonds on the Blockchain” and released briefing materials categorizing blockchain-based government bonds into three types. Type 1 involves circulating the beneficial interests of funds that invest in government bonds (MMFs) on the blockchain; Type 2 involves putting transfer ledgers on the blockchain under the existing transfer settlement system, with three models: management by a single account management institution, coordination among multiple institutions, and connection to the Bank of Japan’s ledger; Type 3 involves issuing a new form of government bonds on a blockchain outside the existing system. The Ministry of Finance believes that putting government bonds on the blockchain could improve the efficiency of collateral and liquidity management and expand the investor base, particularly benefiting overseas investors. However, it also pointed out challenges such as market fragmentation, the transmission of sharp price fluctuations, and system modification costs. All three types are tentative classifications, and the Ministry of Finance plans to compile a report by January 2027. (Source: ChainCatcher)
