According to informed sources, US President's son Eric Trump will visit Tokyo on September 1 to attend the shareholders' meeting of the Japanese Bitcoin financial company Metaplanet Inc. and promote the family's strategic layout in the encryption field. This visit coincides with Japan's approval of the first yen stablecoin and the collaboration between SBI Holdings and Startale Group to create a tokenization stock platform, marking the acceleration of Japan's crypto and tokenization market.

Eric Trump’s Visit to Japan Itinerary and Background

Sources reveal that Eric Trump will attend the Metaplanet shareholders meeting on September 1, where a vote will be held on a new financing plan. This visit to Japan follows his attendance at the Hong Kong "Asia Bitcoin Conference" on August 28-29, indicating that the Trump family is actively positioning itself in the Asian Crypto Assets market.

Metaplanet: Japan's version of 'MicroStrategy'

Metaplanet was originally a hotel operator, and last year it transformed into a Bitcoin accumulation company, currently holding BTC worth over 2.1 billion USD, and in March this year, it hired Eric Trump as a strategic advisor. The company is based on Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, focusing on a long-term Bitcoin reserve strategy.

Although the stock price has fallen by half from the mid-June peak, it has still risen by more than 700% over the past 12 months, becoming a star in the Tokyo market's Crypto Assets concept stocks.

New Dynamics in the Japanese Encryption and Tokenization Market

On August 18, the Japanese Financial Services Agency approved the issuance of the first yen-denominated stablecoin, opening a new chapter for local Crypto Assets payment and settlement.

At the same time, Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings and blockchain infrastructure company Startale Group announced the establishment of a strategic joint venture to create an on-chain tokenization stock and real-world asset (RWA) trading platform:

Key Features: 24/7 tokenized stock trading, cross-border instant settlement, fractional ownership

Technical Integration: Interoperability with DeFi protocols, supporting multi-chain redemption

Compliance advantages: real-time monitoring of international regulations, institutional-level custody and account abstraction.

Startale founder Sota Watanabe stated that tokenization of stocks will be the "next financial frontier," and the platform will support programmable trading of domestic stocks in the United States and Japan.

The Potential of the Global Tokenization Asset Market

According to a joint report by Ripple and the Boston Consulting Group, the global tokenized asset market is expected to reach 18.9 trillion dollars by 2033.

Recent developments include Robinhood deploying tokenized stocks on Arbitrum. These trends indicate that the integration of traditional finance and the Crypto Assets market is accelerating, with Asia, particularly Japan, becoming an important testing ground for global tokenization innovations.

Conclusion

Eric Trump's visit to Japan is not only an important step in the Trump family's crypto strategy, but also resonates with the institutional breakthroughs in Japan's crypto and tokenization market. With the Metaplanet shareholders' meeting, the introduction of the yen stablecoin, and the launch of the SBI–Startale platform, Japan is expected to occupy a key position in the global competition for crypto and tokenized assets.
