Startale and Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings plan to launch Strium, a Layer 1 blockchain focused on RWA and tokenized securities.

Startale Group and Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings have publicly announced Strium Network (Strium), a Layer 1 platform focused on trading tokenized securities and real-world assets (RWAs). As the core product of their joint venture, Strium aims to build the trading layer infrastructure for Asia's on-chain securities market, supporting 24/7 spot and derivatives trading to address the limitations of traditional markets in issuance and custody. Currently, the platform's proof-of-concept (PoC) is ready, focusing on validating its settlement efficiency and interoperability with traditional financial systems and blockchain networks. Strium plans to launch its testnet this year and leverage SBI Holdings' ecosystem customer base to drive the on-chain development of institutional capital markets.
