SBI Expands Its Blockchain and Stablecoin Strategy

The Coinhako deal fits into SBI’s broader blockchain push. In late 2025, SBI Holdings partnered with Startale Group to develop a regulated yen-denominated stablecoin aimed at tokenized asset markets and cross-border settlements.

Earlier, SBI also teamed up with Chainlink to build digital asset tools for financial institutions across Japan and the Asia-Pacific.

With strategic investments, stablecoin development, and now a potential Singapore exchange acquisition, SBI is positioning itself as a major institutional player in Asia’s evolving digital asset ecosystem.
