According to Solana, on July 13, SBI Holdings and the Solana Foundation announced a strategic partnership to advance blockchain-based financial infrastructure in Japan. The collaboration will focus on developing yen-denominated stablecoins, tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), and building institutional blockchain solutions to integrate traditional finance with decentralized technology.

SBI Holdings, one of Japan's largest financial groups, will leverage Solana's high-performance blockchain to support institutional-grade financial services, digital asset issuance, and automated settlements. The companies aim to position Japan as a leading market for on-chain finance while modernizing the country's financial ecosystem.
