Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) has launched ASTOMO, a security token investment platform for retail clients.

Allows individuals to invest in fractionalized real estate from just $653 (JPY 100,000).

Japan’s security token market has already hit $1.27B in cumulative issuance as of Aug. 2025.

This move brings a traditionally institutional-only market to everyday investors.

MUFG entering the retail STO space is huge. It shows traditional finance finally embracing blockchain on a consumer level.

This move could make STOs more accessible to everyday investors, not just institutions. A real milestone for Japan.
