About this session
As tokenization accelerates in Japan, financial institutions, licensed digital asset exchanges, and policymakers are defining how real‑world assets are structured, issued, and accessed on digital platforms. Established players now need to connect new tokenization rails with existing market infrastructure, regulatory expectations, and investor trust. The discussion will look at how issuance and custody platforms, crypto‑asset exchanges, and supervisory authorities can together set standards for tokenized products, from compliance and disclosure to technology and operational resilience. Panellists will explore what “institutional‑grade” means for tokenized assets in the Japanese context, how KYC/AML and market integrity requirements are applied in practice, and how these choices shape future business models for banks, securities firms, and intermediaries.
日本でトークン化の動きが加速するなか、金融機関や登録済みの暗号資産交換業者、政策当局が、実物資産をデジタルプラットフォーム上でどのように組成・発行・流通させるのかという枠組みを形づくっています。既存のプレーヤーには、トークン化という新たな仕組みを、従来の市場インフラや規制上の要請、そして投資家の信頼といかに結びつけていくかが問われています。
本セッションでは、発行やカストディを担う事業者、暗号資産交換業者、監督当局が連携し、コンプライアンスや情報開示、技術基盤、業務の安定性を含め、トークン化商品に求められる基準をどのように整備していくのかを議論します。
また、日本において「インスティテューショナル・グレード（金融機関が実務で採用できる水準）」とは何を意味するのか、KYC／AMLや市場の公正性に関する要件が実務上どのように適用されるのか、さらにこうした制度設計が銀行や証券会社、仲介業者の将来のビジネスモデルをどのように形づくるのかを探ります。 -
