SBI buys 20% stake in Ajaib for $270 million to expand yen stablecoin
The deal is aimed at building a cross-border blockchain settlement network through the Indonesian brokerage.
CoinDesk reports that SBI is acquiring a 20% stake in Indonesia’s online brokerage Ajaib for $270 million.
The Japanese financial group plans to use the investment to expand a yen stablecoin presence in Southeast Asia, positioning the companies to develop a cross-border, blockchain-based settlement network.
Ajaib’s platform will be part of SBI’s effort to enable blockchain settlement across borders as the stablecoin strategy scales in the region.
