Solana and SBI Holdings Unite to Build Japan's First On-Chain Stablecoin and RWA Market

Solana, a high-speed Layer 1 blockchain, has partnered with SBI Holdings to develop Japan's stablecoin and Real World Asset (RWA) ecosystem. SBI Holdings brings regulatory expertise, financial infrastructure, and institutional relationships, while Solana Foundation aids the growth of the Solana blockchain ecosystem.

The joint venture will see SBI R3 Japan adopt the planned trade name SBI Solana Global and resume a new growth strategy with shareholders and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. This news is confirmed by the company's statement on Monday.

SBI Solana Global will help the issuance and division of stablecoins such as JPYSC, the group's yen-denominated stablecoin, with the structuring and distribution of tokenized real-world assets. These RWAs include corporate bonds, commercial paper, funds, and real estate.
