Toyota Financial Services is set to issue its first blockchain-powered security token bonds next month, marking a significant step in the company's embrace of blockchain technology. The offering will be a 1 billion yen ($6.6 million) unsecured bond, with Daiwa Securities and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank collaborating on the project.

The token will be launched on the Progmat platform, operated by Mitsubishi UFJ. Toyota aims to strengthen its ties with individual investors by offering special benefits for token holders who also use the Toyota Wallet app. Those investing over 1 million yen will receive bonus credits in the app, adding an extra incentive.

Sales for the token will run from 20 February to 27 February, with the bond maturing on 3 March 2025. This offering is part of a broader push by Japanese companies to explore security tokens, as the government supports blockchain innovation.
