Intertrade Co., Ltd., Digital Asset Markets Co., Ltd., and AndGo Co., Ltd. have completed a proof-of-concept test for a digital asset management setup aimed at financial institutions in Japan. The project combined the domestically developed hardware wallet ‘AndGo Wallet’ with Fireblocks Pte. Ltd. infrastructure to test whether banks and financial firms could keep tighter control over digital asset keys while still using globally adopted asset management systems.
The core issue here is economic security. Many financial institutions want advanced digital asset infrastructure, but they are also increasingly cautious about depending too heavily on overseas systems for critical key management operations.
The test verified that private keys could be generated, stored, and operated inside AndGo Wallet while still connecting with Fireblocks through Fireblocks Key Link. The companies also confirmed compatibility with Fireblocks governance workflows, policy controls, approval processes, and security functions.

The current situation shows a larger tendency that exists throughout Japan’s financial industry. The companies develop their operations between two extremes which include international asset trading systems and their need to maintain control over essential infrastructure used for crypto assets and stablecoins and upcoming digital financial systems.
The three companies now plan to move toward commercialization and expand deployment opportunities with financial institutions and system integration partners.
