Japan’s Financial Services Agency released the minutes from the inaugural “On-Chain Finance Forum for the AI Era,” where the Financial Services Agency, Ministry of Finance, Bank of Japan, Digital Agency, Japanese Bankers Association and other institutions discussed the implementation of on-chain finance in society. Participating institutions proposed promoting the optimal combination of on-chain and off-chain finance, advancing on-chain applications for stablecoins, tokenized deposits, government bonds and Bank of Japan current account deposits, and strengthening cross-border settlement cooperation. The forum plans to compile an interim summary early next year and formulate a public-private cooperation roadmap, while also studying identity authentication, governance and risk supervision when AI agents autonomously conduct economic activities.
