Toyota Finance to Issue $6.8 Million Tokenized Bond for Direct Sale to Retail Investors
Toyota Finance has launched its second blockchain-based security token bond, targeting retail investors with a one-year maturity and a 1.72% annual interest rate. The issuance totals ¥1 billion, approximately $6.8 million, and is accessible directly through the Toyota Wallet mobile application. By bypassing traditional securities accounts, the company aims to streamline the investment process for individual participants. The bond utilizes blockchain infrastructure developed by BOOSTRY, a specialized Japanese security-token firm. Beyond financial returns, investors receive Toyota Wallet credits and experiential perks such as Fuji Speedway tickets and exclusive vehicle test drives. This initiative represents a significant step in integrating traditional corporate debt with consumer-facing digital wallet ecosystems. The move underscores the growing trend of major automotive corporations leveraging distributed ledger technology to diversify funding sources and enhance retail engagement.
SBI, Daiwa Securities plant settlement platform for tokenized issuance
SBI Securities and Daiwa Securities are developing a cross-border settlement platform to facilitate foreign investment in Japanese security tokens, targeting Singapore as the initial market. The initiative aims to expand beyond current real estate and corporate bond offerings to include tokenized assets in the anime and sake sectors. By utilizing the USDC stablecoin for settlement, the firms intend to streamline international access to Japanese digital securities, with a potential future integration of a yen-backed stablecoin. The project has secured approval from the Japan Securities Dealers Association and is slated for a launch no earlier than 2027. The platform will leverage the BOOSTRY blockchain infrastructure rather than the competing Progmat platform. This strategic move highlights the growing institutional focus on bridging fragmented domestic tokenization markets with global liquidity pools. Success in Singapore could serve as a blueprint for broader international expansion, potentially enabling reciprocal investment opportunities for Japanese clients in foreign markets.
