The full picture of the Liberal Democratic Party's "AI-on-chain finance concept"

On May 19, 2026, the Liberal Democratic Party's "Next-Generation AI and On-Chain Finance Project Team (PT)" published comprehensive recommendations regarding the AI ​​and on-chain finance concept. These recommendations clearly position the financial sector not merely as infrastructure, but as the "18th growth investment area," and outline a large-scale public-private partnership for its promotion.

This concept, driven by concerns about the dominance of US dollar-denominated stablecoins, aims to support the joint issuance of yen-denominated stablecoins by the three major banks through a national pilot project hub, with the goal of commencing actual operation by March 2027.

Furthermore, anticipating the full-scale implementation of "agentic commerce," where AI agents autonomously handle payments rather than humans, the concept redefines blockchain as its native value transfer network.

Furthermore, a five-year master plan has been outlined to guarantee national digital currency sovereignty and security, including the proposal of the "Global SC Corridor Initiative (tentative name)" to lead rule-making in the Asian region, the transition to PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) to address the risk of cryptographic compromise by quantum computers, and the formation of a "Japanese version of Project Glasswing" to prevent autonomous cyberattacks by advanced AI.
