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.
