SBI Holdings Introduces Security Token Bonds in Japan's Retail Market

SBI Holdings has taken a significant step towards integrating blockchain technology with traditional finance in Japan. The company has announced plans to issue Security Token bonds, which will be traded on a digital exchange platform starting March 2026.

The bonds will be managed through the ibet for Fin platform developed by BOOSTRY, and will rely on blockchain infrastructure for issuance, administration, and redemption. This approach removes paper-based processing and reduces reliance on legacy settlement workflows.

Eligible bondholders will receive XRP benefits tied to their subscription amounts, which will be distributed on each interest payment date through 2029. The company framed the reward structure as part of its broader digital asset strategy.
