Nomura is one of the two megabank participants (alongside Mizuho) named in the April 2026 tokenised JGB collateral trial on the Canton Network coordinated with JSCC and Digital Asset. Nomura was previously announced as a participant in the FSA Japan Payment Innovation Project (PIP) sandbox, which is the formal route through which the trial graduates from sandbox to public announcement. Beyond this trial, Nomura's tokenisation activity sits across its securities, asset-management, and digital-asset subsidiaries; the consolidated programme is not surfaced in the current raw entries.
