Japan's bond market will go fully "on-chain"

The most important infrastructure victory for cryptocurrency is taking place within traditional finance.

➤ Japan's central clearing house (JSCC) is piloting the tokenization of Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) on the Canton Network, aiming to move its entire collateral system on-chain. ➤ This initiative is driven by the need to modernize the JGB collateral system, which currently operates on a 1995 infrastructure, to compete with the 24/7 settlement capabilities of tokenized U.S. Treasuries. ➤ The adoption of the Canton Network by major financial institutions for sovereign bond collateral highlights a trend towards permissioned blockchains for institutional finance, focusing on efficiency and settlement risk reduction.
