Announced on November 9, the product marks the platform’s first equity offering and gives eligible users indirect exposure to a Japanese high-dividend equity strategy managed by SBI Asset Management (SBI AM).

How Bybit’s Tokenized Japanese Equity Product Functions
According to an official announcement, the JPE investment product will give eligible Bybit users indirect exposure to a Japanese high-dividend equity strategy managed by SBI Asset Management (SBI AM).
JPE is backed by JX, a digital token issued by DigiFT, a platform specializing in tokenized traditional investments.
Plume, a blockchain-based financial infrastructure provider, structures the product for distribution through Bybit’s RWA Earn platform. The underlying Japanese equity strategy remains managed by SBI Asset Management.
Bybit said eligible users can invest in JPE through its RWA Earn platform using USDC, with a minimum subscription of 5,000 USDC.
The exchange will cover all blockchain transaction fees, while subscriptions and redemptions will be free of charge. Redemptions will follow a T+5 settlement cycle, excluding non-trading days in Japan, Singapore and the United States.
Emily Bao, Bybit’s Head of Spot & Assets, said the launch reflects the growing role of partnerships in bringing traditional financial assets onto blockchain networks. She added that the collaboration with Plume and DigiFT allows Bybit to offer users access to institutional-grade investment products backed by established asset managers.
