日本政府、ステーブルコイン活用によるブロックチェーン証券決済の実証を支援

The statement claims that the Japanese government has supported or approved a pilot project using blockchain and stablecoins for securities settlement. Available information from credible financial and news outlets highlights a project involving major Japanese financial institutions such as Nomura and Daiwa exploring stablecoin-based securities trading. These initiatives indicate strong private-sector momentum and alignment with Japan’s recent digital asset regulations that allow the issuance of regulated yen-backed stablecoins. However, none of the reviewed materials provide direct evidence that the Japanese government, regulators, or the Financial Services Agency (FSA) has formally supported or approved a specific pilot project for securities settlement using blockchain and stablecoins. The government has created an enabling regulatory framework but not explicitly endorsed or co-sponsored a pilot. Therefore, while the overall direction of Japanese financial policy supports experimentation with digital financial infrastructure, the explicit claim of official government approval or sponsorship cannot be verified. The probability leans toward partial truth with moderate confidence due to regulatory alignment but insufficient direct confirmation.
