SBI Global Asset Management (SBI GAM) and DigiFT launched the JX token on the Solana blockchain on July 15, 2026, introducing a token-backed Japanese high-dividend equity strategy. The initiative represents the first instance of a Japanese asset manager bringing an equity strategy on-chain.
The partnership combines SBI Global Asset Management’s investment approach with DigiFT’s tokenization platform. The JX token is designed to represent exposure to a Japanese dividend-focused equity strategy handled by SBI Asset Management Co., Ltd., part of SBI Global Asset Management.
JX gives institutional investors access to Japanese equities through a blockchain-based structure. The strategy follows a growth model, meaning investors do not receive distributions at the fund or token level and instead seek returns through capital appreciation from Japanese stocks.
JX Token Brings Japanese Equity Strategy to Blockchain
The announcement of the JX token comes during a period of rising attention toward Japanese equities. The Tokyo Stock Exchange has encouraged listed companies to use their assets and resources more effectively, improve governance standards, and place greater focus on shareholder value.
The initiative has increased interest in Japanese companies, especially firms with high-dividend strategies. Many companies have started returning more capital to shareholders instead of keeping large cash reserves on their balance sheets.
JX combines interest in Japanese equity markets with blockchain-based investment access. The token structure allows the equity strategy managed by SBI Asset Management to be represented through digital assets.
DigiFT Expands Tokenized Investment Products
The JX launch reflects the wider growth of tokenized real-world assets beyond early uses such as stablecoins and government debt. Tokenized assets on open blockchains reportedly increased from $5.9 billion to $21.9 billion in 2025.
DigiFT has worked on bringing traditional financial products onto blockchain systems through regulated tokenization. The company operates under regulatory approvals from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, holding Recognized Market Operator and Capital Markets Services licenses, while also holding Type 1 and Type 4 licenses from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission.
DigiFT has previously worked with financial firms, including Invesco, UBS Asset Management, Franklin Templeton, and BNY, on tokenization projects. The JX token expands DigiFT’s work into Japanese equity strategies through the Solana blockchain.
