The Japan Exchange Group (JPX), the country's largest exchange operator, is preparing to take a significant step into the cryptocurrency market. According to the company's plans, the target year for listing digital asset exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is 2027.
JPX CEO Hiromi Yamaji stated that the process depends on regulatory compliance, adding that listings could begin in 2027 if the necessary regulatory changes are completed quickly. However, a more likely timeline to ensure regulatory clarity would be 2028.
Japanese financial giants Nomura Holdings and SBI Holdings are also continuing their preparations to launch the country's first crypto ETFs.
