Japan's Ministry of Finance announced on Wednesday that it will establish a study group next month to explore the use of blockchain technology for 'on-chain' trading of Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs). A senior official from the Ministry of Finance stated during a briefing that the group will assess the potential benefits, costs, and market impact of shifting JGB trading to blockchain. The official noted that on-chain trading is expected to offer advantages such as faster settlement speeds, enabling government bonds to be used instantly as collateral in repurchase transactions.
