Plume is bringing Japanese equities onchain, and to one of the largest user bases in crypto. JPE, a Plume product backed by DigiFT’s JX token, is now live on Bybit RWA Earn, putting SBI Asset Management’s Japan High Dividend Equity Strategy within reach of eligible users on a platform trusted by more than 80 million people worldwide.

JPE is the first Japanese equity product on RWA Earn, giving eligible Bybit users exposure to Japan's roughly $8.9 trillion stock market through a professionally managed strategy.

What Is JPE?

JPE gives eligible Bybit users onchain exposure to Japanese equities, accessed with USDC through Bybit RWA Earn.

Underneath is the SBI Japan High Dividend Equity Strategy, managed by SBI Asset Management, part of SBI Global Asset Management, which held a record ¥14.25 trillion (~$91B) in assets under management at the end of August 2026. The strategy invests across around 100 Japanese listed companies selected for their dividend characteristics. Rather than distributing those dividends, it reinvests them for growth, so returns come from capital appreciation as Japanese companies raise payouts and improve capital efficiency.

The strategy reaches Bybit’s RWA Earn in two steps. First, DigiFT tokenizes the fund as JX, issued on Ethereum. Plume then wraps JX as JPE, extending it to ByBit RWA Earn. Subscriptions and redemptions are in USDC, with no Japanese brokerage account or stock selection required.

Institutional-Grade Assets, Across Borders

Plume has built its ecosystem around bringing a wide variety of institutional assets onchain, pairing them with new distribution channels, taking them across borders and then putting them to work. 

JPE builds on the momentum of nOPAL, which Plume and Bybit brought to RWA Earn in August. nOPAL took Brazil's credit card financing market, where around 70% of card transactions are paid in installments, and made its emerging-market rates available to users far beyond Brazil. 

JPE does the same for Japan, taking a Japanese high-dividend equity strategy cross-border and into onchain markets, where users can reach it from USDC without a Japanese brokerage account or picking individual stocks.

Access JPE today on Bybit RWA Earn.
