SBI Holdings and Startale Group are launching an onchain trading platform
The platform will include crypto, tokenized stocks, and RWAs
Japan strengthens its push into Web3 financial infrastructure
Japan’s financial giant SBI Holdings has announced a strategic partnership with Startale Labs to create a next-generation onchain trading platform. This platform will support not only cryptocurrencies but also tokenized stocks and real-world assets (RWAs), marking a bold step toward the tokenized future of finance.
The partnership aims to fuse SBI’s traditional finance expertise with Startale’s blockchain and Web3 innovation. The result? A secure, regulated, and scalable infrastructure that can accommodate a wide range of digital assets under one roof.
What the Onchain Platform Will Offer
The planned platform isn’t just about crypto. SBI and Startale want to make trading tokenized stocks and RWAs as seamless as trading Bitcoin or Ethereum. This includes:
Tokenized Stocks: Equity offerings represented as blockchain tokens, enabling faster and cheaper trading.
RWAs (Real World Assets): Real estate, bonds, and other physical assets represented onchain.
Stablecoins and DeFi Access: Ensuring liquidity and compatibility with decentralized finance protocols.
With this move, Japan is signaling its commitment to Web3, aligning with regulatory frameworks that support innovation while protecting investors.

Startale’s Astar Network in Action
Startale’s involvement brings technical muscle via the Astar Network—a scalable blockchain platform built for enterprise-grade applications. It will be the foundation layer for the new onchain trading platform, enabling fast, secure, and low-cost transactions across asset types.
Sota Watanabe, CEO of Startale, emphasized that this collaboration is not just about infrastructure—it’s about reshaping the global financial market. SBI, already a key crypto and fintech player in Japan, will integrate this platform into its growing ecosystem of digital services.
