Strategic Alliance Targets Tokenization and Cross-Border Solutions
Japanese financial giant SBI Group has announced a strategic partnership with Chainlink, a leading blockchain oracle platform, to drive blockchain adoption in Asia’s financial sector. The collaboration aims to deliver cutting-edge blockchain-based solutions, starting in Japan and gradually expanding across the Asia-Pacific region.
The partnership will prioritize tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), such as on-chain bonds, and enable cross-chain interoperability. Chainlink’s technology will also provide on-chain verification for stablecoin reserves, a critical feature for building trust among institutional investors.
“Our work with SBI is moving toward real-world production use cases at scale,” said Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink. He highlighted that the companies are collaborating on stablecoin settlement systems and advanced fund tokenization solutions.

The alliance will leverage Chainlink’s interoperability protocol and data feeds to bring net asset value (NAV) data on-chain for tokenized funds. SBI Group’s leadership confirmed that the partnership will also focus on compliant cross-border transactions using stablecoins, accelerating digital asset adoption in Japan and beyond.
SBI Holdings CEO Yoshitaka Kitao emphasized: “This initiative will power the next generation of financial infrastructure, enabling efficient and secure digital transactions across borders.”
Part of a Larger Crypto Strategy
This move follows SBI Group’s recent collaborations with Circle, Ripple Labs, and Startale. These partnerships aim to introduce USDC and RLUSD stablecoins to Japan, while also developing an on-chain trading platform for tokenized stocks and RWAs, offering 24/7 trading capabilities.
The timing aligns with regulatory progress in Japan, as the Financial Services Agency (FSA) is expected to approve the first Japanese yen stablecoin in the coming weeks, signaling a major shift toward regulated digital asset adoption.
