The "Internet Capital Markets" vision is no longer a theory—it’s our roadmap. 🏦🌐
After a productive session at #JapanFintechWeek with SBI R3 and Solana, GFK is doubling down on regulatory-compliant Energy RWAs. Bridging TradFi and Web3 isn't just about code; it’s about institutional trust.

🇯🇵 Japan's central bank is moving blockchain closer to the heart of its financial system.
I’m fortunate to be part of FIN/SUM 2026 @xsum_series as part of #JapanFintechWeek this year as an Impact Pitch finalist, where my startup @KnightIntelco was selected among the finalists.
In coordination with @fsa_JAPAN and @NikkeiAsia , you hear directly how central banks, regulators, and financial institutions are thinking about the next architecture of finance.
One moment that stood out this week was hearing remarks from Kazuo Ueda, governor of the Bank of Japan.
Japan is moving blockchain closer to the core plumbing of its financial system.
Ueda shared that the BOJ is experimenting with blockchain-based settlement for central bank reserves, essentially exploring whether the deposits that commercial banks hold at the central bank could operate on blockchain infrastructure.
The initiative is being tested through a sandbox project that looks at how tokenization and smart contracts could improve interbank settlement and securities settlement processes.
He framed it clearly: central banks must adapt to a “new financial ecosystem” shaped by tokenization and programmability.
Now the conversation is shifting toward core financial infrastructure:
- central bank reserves
- settlement layers
- programmable money
- tokenized financial assets
For founders building in fintech and crypto infrastructure, this is a signal worth paying attention to.
This is exactly the direction that inspired us to build Knight — an Ai Native Trust Intelligence designed for a world where financial systems, identities, and transactions increasingly operate across jurisdictions and programmable rails.
If central banks are preparing for a tokenized financial system, the question becomes:
"How do we build a trust infrastructure that can operate across it?"
If cross-border financial infrastructure becomes programmable and interoperable, we unlock something much bigger than faster payments.
Trust itself becomes portable.
Interoperable financial systems can reduce fraud, enable institutions to collaborate across jurisdictions, and allow incumbents to build new financial products on top of programmable rails rather than legacy silos.
I’m excited to see Japan leaning into this future — and to witness the next wave of finance being built on-chain, at the institutional level.
And grateful to be building alongside the people shaping the next financial architecture.

大手金融機関の方々が、DeFiで聞き慣れた用語を使いはじめているのは感慨深いです。
金融システムを全てオンチェーンにという視野の広さに、日本もついに動くのだなと思いました。
雪解けを感じます。
