The Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) has launched ASTOMO, a tokenized securities platform for retail investors, marking a significant step into the digital asset market valued at $1.27 billion as of August 2025. ASTOMO allows for fractional real estate investments starting from $653, expanding access to capital previously reserved for institutions and the wealthy.
The token market in Japan is growing rapidly, expected to reach 2.29 billion USD, with participation from Daiwa Securities, Mizuho Trust Bank, and Nomura Holdings. Japan strictly regulates security tokens, considering them as “electronic transfer rights,” complying with traditional financial standards.
To increase liquidity, the Osaka digital exchange (ODX) has opened a secondary trading platform since the end of 2023. MUFG has not disclosed the target users or revenue of ASTOMO.
