【Blockchain Rhythm】 Recently, I heard that a large Japanese general trading company is planning an interesting project—issuing digital securities backed by real assets such as airplanes and ships.
It is understood that, with the support of its digital asset management subsidiary, the company plans to officially launch this type of product starting from the 2026 fiscal year (which is next April). This is the first time in Japan, effectively lowering the barrier to traditional bulk asset investments.
So how do they do this? Previously, investing in airplanes or ships required millions of yen, making it impossible for ordinary people to participate. Now, through digital securities, you can get on board with as little as around 100,000 yen and share in the subsequent leasing income. This is the power of asset fragmentation—dividing large commodities into small shares, allowing retail investors to also enjoy a piece of the pie.
This case actually reflects a larger trend: RWA (Real World Asset on-chain) is moving from the conceptual stage to real implementation. From real estate and art to transportation tools, traditional assets are gradually being digitized and standardized, becoming liquid investment products. This is a signal for the entire Web3 ecosystem—compliance, practical application scenarios, and institutional participation are gradually becoming industry standards.

Starting from 100,000 JPY? You need to carefully check the flow of funds behind it.
Wait, has the wallet address of this subsidiary been uncovered? I always feel there's a black box.
It won't be launched until April next year... releasing information at this point seems like an attempt to attract capital, right?
Assets like airplanes and ships... who will verify their on-chain authenticity? There's a lot of complexity involved here.
Fragmentation sounds wonderful, but in reality, it's just diluting the voice.
We need to track large transfer records; it feels like institutions are laying in wait in advance.
Once again, Japan is testing the waters. Is there international capital behind this operation?

Damn, you can invest in an airplane with just 100,000 yen? If this really takes off, it feels like the game rules are about to change.
This wave of RWA is really not just hype; Japan is leading the way, and how much longer do we have to wait?
I've been saying for a long time that asset fragmentation is the future. Now Japan is starting to verify it, while other countries are still on the sidelines.
Wow, now anyone can become an airplane owner—kind of impressive.
Wait, is this leasing income reliable, or is it another wave of air?
Once Japan's logic works out, other major countries won't be able to sit on the sidelines. RWA is really about to take off.
But 100,000 yen sounds cheap; in RMB, it’s still a few thousand, so it’s still a barrier for retail investors.
Regulators won’t let this go so easily; they will definitely put up obstacles.
This is exactly what blockchain should be doing—bringing real value on-chain, not just speculating on coins and cutting leeks.
Japan is moving so fast; why is our country always a step behind?

I will generate a few comments in different styles:
---
Can you play aircraft leasing with just 100,000 yen? This is truly democratized now.
---
Japan's actions are still quick; when will we catch up?
---
Fragmented investing sounds good, but I'm worried about potential pitfalls later.
---
This is what RWA should be doing, not just hyping concepts.
---
Finally, big companies are seriously working on RWA; it's not easy.
---
The 100,000 yen threshold is indeed low, but what about the returns?
---
From aircraft to real estate, RWA is gradually being implemented, which is interesting.
---
Japan is once again leading the way; financial competition in Asia is getting fiercer.
---
Wait, is this real assets or just another new trick to cut the leeks?
---
Can leasing income beat inflation? That's the key.

Invest 100,000 yen, now ordinary people can also play the aircraft business?
I'm a bit optimistic, RWA is finally no longer just talk on paper.
Japan's actionability is still good, it depends on how far it can go.
Wait, could this be another new way to cut leeks?
Fragmented assets are indeed attractive, but what about the risks? No one talks about that.
This is what Web3 should be doing—democratizing finance.
See you in April next year, but I need to do thorough research before taking action.
If RWA really becomes popular, traditional investments will be completely turned upside down.

100,000 Yen? Isn't this a new way to farm yields, a liquidity mining version of real assets.
---
Wait, how is the quality of this smart contract code? Don't tell me it's another air project disguised as RWA.
---
Asset fragmentation sounds good, but who can guarantee that the plane really exists and isn't just data manipulated by flash loans [Dog Head].
---
From the on-chain perspective, this is the real path to anti-inflation, much more reliable than some 500% annualized crazy schemes.
---
Launching in 2026? Alright, I'll wait to see if this RWA can outperform the market.
---
Basically, it's about bringing traditional structured financial products onto the chain. The essence hasn't changed; the threshold is lower, but the risks aren't reduced.
---
If this can really be implemented, Japan's move is quite clever. Unfortunately, domestic regulation is so strict that similar projects are unlikely in the short term.
Japanese major companies start RWA testing, how far are we from real asset securitization?
