Exploring the Future of Security Tokens in Light of New Tax Regulations
As the digital securities market expands rapidly, it becomes increasingly crucial for businesses and stakeholders to stay updated on the latest changes impacting security token issuance. N.Avenue Inc., which operates the Web3 and digital assets media outlet NADA NEWS, will host a free online webinar titled
"What Changed with Tax Reforms on Security Tokens? A Comprehensive Analysis by Experts in Accounting and Tax" on July 30, 2026, at 17:00 JST. This event will feature industry leaders from Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and PwC, who will provide timely insights on these significant developments.
Event Significance: Navigating the Transformative Phase of Security Tokens
The securities token (ST) market is evolving beyond its historical focus on real estate-backed assets, entering a new chapter characterized by exponential growth. In the fiscal year 2025, public issuance is anticipated to reach a remarkable 165 billion yen, with cumulative issuances exceeding 330 billion yen—almost doubling compared to the previous year. This shift marks a pivotal moment for companies, as STs are increasingly recognized as a viable means of digital fundraising, with real estate-backed trust-type STs currently accounting for roughly 80% of the market.
Recent tax reforms and new perspectives from the National Tax Agency, along with enhanced accounting regulations, are catalyzing significant improvements in the efficiency of issuance practices and fostering asset diversification. In this webinar, industry frontrunners will elucidate what businesses can actively do now and what precautions they should take amidst these changes.
