[Chain News] The new moves by the Japanese government have drawn attention. According to reports, Japan plans to submit a related bill to the National Diet in 2026 to transform local government bonds into digital securities on-chain. It sounds a bit hardcore, but it's really just one thing - aiming to eliminate intermediaries and make bond issuance and settlement fast and transparent.The most interesting part is here. The new plan intends to use local stablecoins to directly pay interest while providing investors with benefits such as access to local facilities. In simple terms, bonds are no longer just cold financial products, but rather a comprehensive experience that combines economic returns, special rewards, and social contributions.Investors here can see real-time changes in their accounts; for the issuers, costs have significantly decreased, and financing efficiency has been greatly improved. This low-cost model of local financing may open a new window for local finances in Japan. The Blockchain technology is moving from concept to practice, and this case is worth observing.

ngl japan's always been good at this regulatory theater stuff... sounds efficient on paper but wait till the stablecoin correlation matrix breaks during the next liquidity crisis. 2026 is still far enough away for this to quietly die in committee anyway lol

This move in Japan is quite interesting, but whether stablecoin payments of interest will actually take off depends on how it is implemented later on.

If Japan's recent actions really expand within three years, it would create a huge ecosystem. However, on the other hand, if the middlemen are cut out, will new middlemen just pop up? It might just be a change of terminology, haha. I'm optimistic, but we have to wait until the 2026 Congress actually passes it before we can talk.

Japan's move is quite good, introducing new tricks with bonds, but to put it bluntly, it still depends on the subsequent execution; 2026 is still a long way off.

Japan's recent actions are quite pragmatic, directly using a combination of stablecoins and local benefits, aiming to shift investors away from solely focusing on yield—this move is indeed clever. However, the real test will be whether it can be implemented after the 2026 legislation is passed; it's easy on paper.

Japan's trap has something interesting, stablecoin interest payments + local benefits, it really feels like they want to make bonds lively.

Japan aims to go on-chain in 2026, with interest settled in stablecoins. Isn't this just packaging bonds into crypto-flavored financial products? It still feels like they want to play people for suckers, only with more advanced tools.

Japan is really getting started, and blockchain bonds can still offer benefits? That's interesting, but these middlemen are going to cry.
