Bank Of Japan Tests Tokenized Central-bank Deposits
The Bank of Japan will test blockchain technology for settling deposits that financial institutions hold at the central bank, Governor Kazuo Ueda said at the FIN/SUM 2026 conference in Tokyo today. The sandbox will examine using central bank money for domestic interbank and securities settlements and explores tokenized reserves via international Project Agorá. The BOJ also cited interoperability needs and potential AI-driven applications for on-chain transaction data.
