ODX

Osaka Digital Exchange (ODX) operates Proprietary Trading Systems (PTS) in Japan, specializing in both equity and security token trading. The company's innovative platform includes "START," Japan's first secondary trading market for security tokens, providing a regulated venue for the issuance and trading of digital assets. ODX facilitates transactions for registered securities firms, aiming to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of capital markets.

ODX was established in 2021 through a collaborative effort by major Japanese financial institutions. SBI Group holds a majority stake, alongside Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Nomura Holdings. This partnership was formed from the insight that digital assets, particularly security tokens, required a dedicated and regulated trading environment to unlock new financing avenues for businesses and modernize Japan's financial infrastructure.

The company primarily serves professional investors and registered securities firms within Japan, acting as an intermediary to ensure fair and orderly markets. ODX's long-term vision is to further facilitate the capital market by offering flexible financing solutions for enterprises through its advanced digital trading platforms, promoting innovation and growth in the financial ecosystem.
