SBI Holdings and Solana Foundation Collaborate to Build Japan's Leading On-Chain Financial Market
SBI Holdings and Solana Foundation have formed a strategic alliance to jointly build an on-chain financial market originating in Japan.
The two parties will support stablecoin issuance, tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), cross-border settlements, and institutional on-chain financial services through SBI Solana Global (formerly SBI R3 Japan).
In the market mechanism, Japanese institutional capital will deploy stablecoins and RWAs via the Solana network, driving event-driven growth of on-chain liquidity in Asia, benefiting SBI and Solana as infrastructure providers, while traditional cross-border payment systems face competitive pressure on efficiency.

SBI Holdings has previously adopted Solana as the main network for institutional stablecoin settlements through subsidiaries like B2C2. This collaboration expands to full-stack on-chain finance, leveraging Japan's regulatory framework and SBI Financial Group resources.
In terms of capital pathways, SBI mobilizes group resources to collaborate with Solana Foundation to launch stablecoins like JPYSC and tokenize corporate bonds and real estate as RWAs. The motivation is to establish Japan as a hub for on-chain finance in Asia while paving the way for next-generation payment infrastructure in the AI agent era.
Similar to RWA initiatives promoted by Asian financial centers like Singapore, SBI-Solana is currently in the expansion phase of Japan's transition from crypto adoption to on-chain financial sovereignty.
Essentially, this represents a reconstruction of the industrial chain: the migration of traditional financial infrastructure to blockchain, driven by Solana's high-performance, low-cost characteristics combined with Japanese institutional credit, facilitating a paradigm shift in cross-border settlements and asset liquidity from offshore centers to compliant on-chain markets.
