National Company Database (CDB) is currently developing Japan’s first blockchain-powered fundraising platform (Launchpad) in preparation for its upcoming public release.
Japan is home to many startups and venture companies with world-class technology and highly distinctive services. However, due to fundraising barriers, a significant number of these businesses still miss growth opportunities. While large corporations can often raise funds from overseas investors more easily, this remains a major challenge for emerging companies.
To fundamentally address this issue, CDB is building an infrastructure focused on real businesses with substance and long-term value.
In Japan, the issuance of Solana-based meme tokens is rapidly intensifying, following trends seen overseas. However, CDB’s approach is different: instead of supporting speculative hype, we are launching a platform designed to help legitimate companies access global capital markets in a transparent and sustainable way.
By leveraging blockchain technology, the CDB Launchpad will enable Japanese companies to raise funds more efficiently while connecting them with global investors. Additionally, investors will be able to receive profit-sharing distributions seamlessly through the CDB platform, based on the amount of tokens they hold—creating a new investment experience that prioritizes transparency and convenience.
We have also been carefully working through legal and regulatory requirements in parallel with development, and we are pleased to report that most legal considerations have now been cleared.
The platform is scheduled to be released on February 15, 2026.
CDB remains committed to maximizing growth opportunities for Japanese companies while delivering a more transparent, user-friendly, and innovative investment experience for investors worldwide. Further updates and announcements will be shared soon.
