Toyota Finance has opened subscriptions for a 1 billion yen tokenized bond that retail investors in Japan can buy directly through the Toyota Wallet mobile payment app. The one-year bond starts at 100,000 yen, or about $676, and does not require buyers to open a securities account because it is being distributed directly by Toyota Finance. The bond carries a 1.72% annual interest rate and runs on blockchain infrastructure provided by Japanese security-token company BOOSTRY. Toyota said the direct distribution approach lets it handle applications, communications with bondholders and investor perks inside the same ecosystem. Buyers may receive Toyota Wallet balances and qualify for benefits such as Fuji Speedway tickets and test-drive experiences, including Lexus vehicles and selected classic Toyota models. The sale marks Toyota Finance’s second security token bond issuance after its first deal in March 2025, which was sold through securities firms.
