Japanese financial giant SBI Group is teaming up with Franklin Templeton to prepare for a possible approval of crypto funds in Japan.
Japanese financial giant SBI Group is teaming up with U.S. asset manager Franklin Templeton in anticipation of potential approval for crypto funds in Japan, aiming to introduce spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds to the Japanese market, Nikkei Asia <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Cryptocurrencies/Franklin-Templeton-and-SBI-team-up-to-bring-bitcoin-ETFs-to-Japan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">has learned</a>, citing sources familiar with the matter.
In the joint venture, SBI Group will hold a 51% stake, while Franklin Templeton will own the remaining part. While spot Bitcoin ETFs have already been approved in the U.S., Hong Kong, and a few other countries, Japan has yet to make a decision regarding this financial product.
The collaboration between SBI Group and Franklin Templeton suggests that Japan’s Financial Services Agency may eventually approve the ETF, though no timeframe has been revealed so far. The joint venture is reportedly expected to offer crypto securities, though specific details have not been disclosed.
