Proprietary trading system operator Osaka Digital Exchange (ODX) is set to launch the trading of digital securities in Japan. This move comes as a response to the growing demand for alternative assets. ODX’s trading system for security tokens will go live on December 25th. Two real-estate firms, Ichigo Inc. and Kenedix Inc., are planning to issue digital securities on the ODX platform. Ichigo Inc. aims to sell over $20 million in securities backed by property investments. Security tokens are digital assets that represent ownership in an external enterprise or asset. They are subject to regulations under federal law and derive their value from tradable assets. By introducing the trading of security tokens on an exchange, liquidity can be increased, making it easier for individuals to invest. However, the fact that only $20 million worth of securities are being offered indicates that the market is still testing the waters and assessing the demand for alternative forms of securities.Japan has been witnessing significant developments in digital asset adoption. The government plans to allow startups to raise funds by issuing cryptocurrencies instead of stocks. Additionally, electronic payments company DeCurrent Holdings has revealed a white paper on a stablecoin project backed by the Japanese Yen, which is set to launch in 2024.Overall, the introduction of digital securities trading in Japan demonstrates the country’s growing acceptance of this new asset class. While the market is still in its early stages, these developments pave the way for potential future growth and innovation in the digital asset space.
