Japanese financial powerhouse SBI Holdings has unveiled plans to introduce the country’s first dual-asset cryptocurrency ETF, offering exposure to both Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP, signaling a bold push into regulated crypto investment products in Japan.

According to its most recent earnings report, SBI is planning two key offerings:

⚪ A hybrid gold-crypto ETF — A trust-based product with 51% exposure to gold ETFs and 49% to crypto-asset ETFs, including Bitcoin.

⚪ A Bitcoin-XRP dual ETF — Set to be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, this would be Japan’s first exchange-traded product pairing two major digital assets.

SBI emphasized that the products will launch pending regulatory approval, suggesting that discussions with Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) are still underway. If approved, the ETF would be a significant milestone in Japan’s heavily regulated financial sector, where no crypto ETF has yet received public market clearance.

The timing aligns with a major shift in Japan’s crypto landscape. In June 2025, the FSA proposed reclassifying certain crypto assets as financial products under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA). This change could pave the way for crypto ETFs and more favorable tax treatment, reflecting Japan’s slow but steady embrace of digital finance.

While reports circulated that a formal filing has been made for the Bitcoin-XRP ETF, SBI has not confirmed whether it has submitted the proposal to the FSA or if it remains in the pre-filing stage.
