SBI, Rakuten, and Nomura prepare crypto investment trusts
Japan’s major brokerages are developing crypto investment trusts for retail investors.
SBI Securities and Rakuten Securities are creating products in-house, while Nomura plans to enter the space once regulations are finalized.
The move aims to make crypto more accessible to ordinary investors, allowing exposure through existing securities accounts.
This shift could increase retail participation in the crypto market, currently limited by the need for dedicated exchange accounts or wallets.
