# JapanTokenizesGovernmentBonds

1.9M

Three Japanese megabanks MUFG Mizuho and Sumitomo Mitsui along with BlackRock Japan have launched a JGB tokenization study. The project aims to enable 24/7 on-chain trading and same-day settlement for the JGB repo market by the end of 2026. The JGB repo market is about 1.6 trillion US dollars. Moving it on-chain would compress settlement cycles from T plus 1 to T plus 0. This is the first major economy to push sovereign debt tokenization at institutional scale and could be a key RWA bellwether.
