SBI Holdings security token bond: interest paid in XRP, key terms
SBI Holdings is issuing a ¥10 billion (about $64.5 million) security token bond that delivers rewards in XRP, according to Coinfomania. The offering is positioned as a blockchain-based security token issuance, with XRP used as the medium for investor rewards under the product’s terms as reported.
On-chain administration is central to the structure and is implemented through ibet for Fin, a platform designed for financial instruments. The combination of a regulated bond format with crypto-denominated payouts frames the instrument as a hybrid between traditional fixed income and digital asset distribution.
From subscription to XRP distribution and Osaka Digital Exchange START trading
Public reporting describes a linear flow from investor subscription to tokenized issuance and crypto-denominated distributions. As editorial context, this article first outlines that flow before citing third-party coverage. “SBI Holdings has launched the first-ever on-chain Security Token bond issuance, allowing holders to receive an equivalent amount of XRP,” said FXLeaders. The report adds that rewards are delivered instantly after payment confirmation.
Following allocation, the instrument is expected to become available for secondary trading on the Osaka Digital Exchange START venue. In practical terms, this places the bond within a regulated trading environment while preserving the crypto-linked reward component established at issuance.
At the time of this writing, XRP is around $1.44 with very high short-term volatility near 12.91%, a 14-day RSI of about 41.42, and price below its 50-day ($1.79) and 200-day ($2.31) simple moving averages. Recent conditions are described as bearish, with 10 green days out of the last 30 (33%).
Japan FSA context and on-chain issuance via ibet for Fin
The product sits within Japan’s established securities regime, under the oversight of the Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA). Within that framework, security tokens are issued and recorded using compliant infrastructure, and crypto-denominated rewards introduce volatility, custody, and operational considerations distinct from cash coupon flows.
As reported by Coingape, the issuance is executed on-chain via ibet for Fin, a platform developed to support digital securities workflows. The report also notes that secondary trading is scheduled to begin on March 25, 2026, on the Osaka Digital Exchange’s START platform, aligning on-chain issuance with a domestic secondary market.
Key risk considerations include XRP price variability between subscription, distribution, and any subsequent interest dates, which can affect the effective value of rewards. It is also not disclosed in the coverage how the XRP is sourced for distributions or whether issuer reserves or open-market purchases are used, and tax treatment of crypto-denominated rewards was not detailed in the referenced reporting.
