DigiFT, SBI Launch JX Token; Demonstrate JPYSC-Powered Settlement for Tokenized Securities
DigiFT and SBI Global Asset Management have launched the JX token, marking the first time a Japanese asset manager has brought a listed-equity strategy onchain. The token provides regulated access to the SBI Japan High Dividend Equity Fund, which manages over ¥200 billion in assets. Beyond the product launch, SBI Group, DigiFT, and Startale Group successfully demonstrated the use of the JPYSC stablecoin to power the full lifecycle of tokenized securities, including instant settlement and automated dividend distribution. This development is significant because it moves tokenization beyond simple cash-like instruments into the complex realm of actively managed public equities. By utilizing JPYSC, the project addresses the critical bottleneck of traditional settlement cycles and manual income processing that has historically hindered market modernization. The collaboration leverages DigiFT’s multi-jurisdictional regulatory licenses and SBI’s extensive financial infrastructure to create a compliant, institutional-grade ecosystem. This initiative aligns with Japan's broader push to modernize capital markets and improve corporate capital efficiency. Ultimately, the integration of regulated stablecoins with tokenized equity strategies signals a shift toward a more efficient, programmatic financial infrastructure in Asia.
