XRP at the Forefront of Digital Revolution

Security token offering is an innovative plan for raising funds using blockchain technology. SBI Holdings implements this method in its latest program and plans to do the same in the future. The Japanese company hasn’t issued similar token offerings, and providing cryptocurrencies as bonus payments is the first of its kind, too.
SBI JHoldings manages the STO using Ibet blockchain. According to the announcement (translated):
“This digital bond is issued using the blockchain consortium “ibet for Fin” led by BOOSTRY Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Toshinori Sasaki) instead of the conventional management by the Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc.・ Manage and complete the business process from issuance to interim management and redemption by electronic method.”
Issuing STO and offering cryptocurrency as bonus payment is a serious sign that SBI plans to move faster in the new world.
