Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has proposed establishing a legal framework for cryptocurrency-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to boost the country's digital asset sector. The party's blockchain promotion panel submitted the proposal to Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama, arguing that crypto ETFs would provide accessible investment options and should be recognized as official financial products. While Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has historically been cautious, recent reports suggest potential regulatory amendments could allow the first crypto ETFs within two years. Separately, the LDP urged the government to promote the use of yen-denominated stablecoins for settlements in Asia, aiming to leverage Japan's upcoming hosting of the Asian Development Bank's annual meeting. Japan's stablecoin regulations, established in 2022, permit issuance only by licensed financial institutions. Recent legal changes have also eased rules for certain foreign trust-backed stablecoins and classified crypto assets as financial instruments.

The Solana Foundation has announced a new initiative to actively support teams building fully onchain perpetual futures (perps) on Solana. This move directly challenges the current market structure, exemplified by platforms like Hyperliquid, where much of the derivatives volume still relies on centralized exchanges or hybrid models with offchain components. Solana argues that its high-performance blockchain makes fully onchain perps viable without sacrificing speed or user experience, aiming to shift a lucrative trading segment entirely onchain. The Foundation seeks to back projects that prioritize onchain price discovery (like order books or RFQ systems) over pool-based models, require projects to be "Solana-first" with revenue routed back to the chain, and mandate open-source development. The support includes distribution, technical assistance, and capital for core perps protocols as well as complementary infrastructure.

Bitcoin developer Peter Todd opposes integrating Zcash-style privacy features into Bitcoin's consensus layer, arguing the cryptographic risk is too high. His comments followed a disclosed issue in Zcash's Orchard shielded pool, sparking a debate on privacy, auditability, and Bitcoin's resistance to change (ossification). Todd distinguishes Bitcoin's transparent ledger, where bugs like the 2010 overflow were visible and reversible, from shielded systems where privacy could hide counterfeit coins or supply destruction, making detection and rollbacks difficult. While critics noted Bitcoin's own history of bugs, Todd countered that these didn't pose the same existential risk. He emphasized that with a significant portion of ZEC already shielded, a hidden bug could devastate user holdings without easy recovery. The discussion highlights the trade-off between advanced privacy and systemic risk in a base protocol.

SBI Shinsei Bank, part of Japan's SBI Group, is launching a crypto rewards program this fall to expand its digital assets business. The program will reward depositors with vouchers worth 20% of their interest payments, redeemable for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or XRP. A three-month trial starts in June for deposits ranging from 300,000 to over 30 million yen. Customers must open an account with SBI's crypto exchange, VC Trade, to convert the vouchers. This initiative is part of SBI Group's broader crypto push, which includes launching a crypto-linked Visa card, developing crypto investment trusts, filing for crypto ETFs, and seeking to acquire a stake in the Bitbank exchange.

Japan's three largest banks—MUFG Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., and Mizuho Bank—are advancing plans to launch a jointly-issued yen-pegged stablecoin by the end of fiscal year 2026 (March 31, 2027). They have established a voluntary council to develop the operational framework, governance, and issuance infrastructure for the token, which will be issued under a trust agreement. The move aligns with Japan's regulatory push to expand its yen-based digital asset market, following 2022 amendments to the Payment Services Act that restrict stablecoin issuance to licensed entities like banks and trust companies. The banks, which began exploring this initiative in late 2025, aim to support a wide range of use cases and are considering future collaborations with other financial institutions. This development occurs alongside other yen-stablecoin launches and recent political proposals to promote such tokens for settlement in Asia.
