Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) adopted a policy proposal titled “Next-Generation AI and Onchain Finance Concept,” designed to modernize the nation’s financial infrastructure. Prepared under the leadership of Seiji Kihara, the proposal seeks to make financial transactions faster, safer, and more autonomous while strengthening Japan’s position in the global digital economy race.
The roadmap places strong emphasis on integrating AI-powered autonomous commerce systems with blockchain networks. Under the proposal, AI agents would be capable of independently selecting products and services on behalf of users, while blockchain technology would provide secure and verifiable transaction infrastructure. The initiative also envisions a fully operational 24/7 financial ecosystem.
Another key focus of the proposal is support for tokenized deposits and Japanese yen-backed stablecoins. Japan’s three major banks are already working on stablecoin issuance projects, which received full backing under the new framework. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) was also tasked with preparing a five-year roadmap to encourage both public and private sector investment, while Japan plans to strengthen AI and blockchain cooperation with other Asian countries.
