The practical wave of the securities business digitalization has arrived

The digitalization of securities seems to be the dawn in 2021.

For example, in July 2021, four major finance Childmpanies, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust, Nomura Securities, SBI Securities, and Kenedix, announced Childllaboration for digitized securities recruitment business.

The background is the Revised Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, which was enforced in May 2020.

The law uses blockchain technology to define the "security token", a cryptic asset that supports stocks and real estate investment products.

In this definition, the efforts to actually link to the securities business are the pillars of Childllaboration by Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Bank.

Prior to these four Childmpanies, SBI Securities and SMBC Nikko Securities have announced a series of security tokens.

"Access to online investment products" aimed at by Alterna in this release is an investment product such as listed shares and investment trusts for existing securities companies.

However, Alterna's "securitization products of real assets" are highly customized, and the price per unit of investment generally costs more than tens of millions of yen.

High customizability can cause the burden of the product provider to establish an administrative flow from zero for each product, or to judge investment products.

Alterna aims to consolidate product information, to meet the demand of professional corporate investors called institutional investors online, and to streamline transactions and burden.

As a result, expectations are increasing, such as being able to provide financial products that have been difficult to compose until now.(ASCII FinTech reporter Kugayoshi Kuga)
