KDDI Corporation and Securitize Japan Co., Ltd. signed a basic agreement on June 22, 2026, to begin considering next-generation financial services utilizing blockchain technology.
The two companies will combine KDDI’s customer base and customer touchpoints with Securitize’s RWA tokenization technology to promote joint ventures utilizing solutions provided by Securitize and initiatives aimed at creating investment opportunities through RWA tokenization.
In recent years, financial services utilizing blockchain technology have seen increasing social implementation, particularly overseas, and are attracting attention as a next-generation financial infrastructure. In particular, the tokenization of RWAs is expected to contribute to the realization of more user-friendly financial services for customers by expanding investment opportunities through fractional asset ownership, improving the efficiency of transactions and settlements, and enhancing liquidity.
