The establishment of the Japan Station is another milestone in the implementation of the “AOFEX Global Strategic Plan”. In the AOFEX business strategy and user expectations, AOFEX will steadily develop upwards and achieve a global layout.

AOFEX Development
To promote the leading service of digital assets with security to the world, accurately attract more users, and obtain more digital financial resources. In 2021, AOFEX will further promote the business, fully launch the global strategic plan, and establish more branches in different countries around the world, bringing qualify services to more regions.
The establishment of Japan Branch will provide cryptocurrency services to users in Japan and other Asian regions, which is another localized service after Canada Branch.
Establish branches in more countries/regions
To implement this Plan, AOFEX, based on the service system, cryptocurrency industry, and market demands, strives to offer local services in countries and regions, enriches local blockchain asset exchange service with the guidance of local policies, and provides diverse and comprehensive trading products and quality financial services for global users at the bigger picture.
Provide professional services based on the practical situations in Japan
For cryptocurrency regulation, Japan leads the way. In April 2017, Japan has enacted the Amended Fund Settlement Act on cryptocurrencies. More laws have been implemented, such as the Fund Settlement Implementation Act, Decrees on Cryptocurrency Exchange by the Industry Cabinet Office and other related regulations. At the same time, the Financial Services Agency also issued a number of guidelines and decrees to support the specific implementation of such regulations. To accelerate the application of cryptocurrency, relevant regulations have contributed to the compilation of other laws and regulations, such as the Financial Commodity Exchange Act and the Banking Act. In this case, AOFEX will develop a digital asset service system suitable for the local development based relevant policies.
For asset services, nearly $100 million of digital assets on crypto exchanges in Japan were hacked, triggering panic. AOFEX always values the security. As AOFEX launches its branch in Japan, it will bring safe and reliable services to users and develop local digital finance.
Integrate with the platform’s ecosystems to enhance value
Expanding businesses——OT is a digital asset on ERC20 issued by AOFEX. The application scenarios of OT cover all products and rights and interests on the platform, including but not limited to deducting fees, obtaining airdrop rewards, preferential purchase of hot saving products, bonus rebate, positions and mining, AP integration branch, etc. As AOFEX is growing, its OT businesses are expanding to improve the ecosystem of AOFEX.
With the business development and layout of AOFEX and growing OT, AOFEX ecosystem will be improved a lot in a short time. Since the establishment of Canada Branch, OT has gone up steadily, with an increase of 159.12% in 30 days, quoting 6.7513 USDT now. As OT goes up steadily and its mechanism is being improved, AOFEX ecosystem will also grow bigger, to contribute to the mutual development.
Expanding Business scope ——OT (Option Token) is a digital asset issued by AOFEX based on ERC20, covering all businesses of the platform in the world. The functions of OT cover all products and rights and interests in the platform, including but not limited to: deducting fees, obtaining air drop awards, preferential purchase of hot financial products, bonus rebate, mining, AP integration branch, etc.
With the development of AOFEX, more abundant business scope of OT will be explored, developing the AOFEX ecology.
。
Well-performed deflation mechanism——To increase the ecological value of OT, the platform will establish a sound deflation mechanism, and adopt the mode of burning before output, where the amount of burning is ≧ the amount of output. After the launch of OT, the circulation volume on the secondary market does not exceed 20% (20 million) of the total amount, until the total amount reaches 20 million. AOFEX exchange uses 20% of profits from transaction fees per month to repurchase OT from secondary markets and burn it. Besides, OT is burnt along with the launch of new projects. Through burning by repurchase and listing, the total amount of OT is decreased to improve its scarcity, provide stable necessities and accelerate the burning schedule, build a complete token economy system, and enable OT and AOFEX ecosystem to appreciate greatly. Until now, AOFEX has destroyed 8,844,820 OT in total.
Diverse features——OT is now used for voting, payment, lockup or holding positions. OT holders can enjoy corresponding rights and benefits, and are supported by AOFEX’s platform value. At the same time, due to the inelastic demand of project parties and comments, OT circulating amount will be reduced to create long-term and stable good situation. With the global strategic plan, AOFEX ecosystem scenarios are gradually implemented and OT will be adopted in all scenarios to empower the eocsystem and create values.

Lisbon, Portugal, September 9th, 2026, FinanceWire
Ekiden, the first order book-based derivatives exchange, brings institutional-grade execution, private trading workflows, and on-chain settlement to the Canton ecosystem.
The launch adds a professional execution layer to Canton’s growing financial ecosystem, enabling market participants to trade and settle derivatives on-chain using infrastructure designed around the requirements of institutional markets.
Ekiden is built for professional trading firms, market makers, funds, banks, and institutional trading desks that require execution workflows closer to traditional capital markets than to retail-focused decentralized finance venues.
The platform combines a central limit order book, or CLOB, with request-for-quote execution, PropAMM integration, a professional trading terminal, and API connectivity for market makers, algorithmic trading platforms, aggregators, exchanges, and funds.
Ekiden also provides a streamlined entry point into the Canton ecosystem, allowing professional market participants to onboard, connect through its API, and begin trading without having to build their own Canton-native infrastructure.
Canton Network provides a privacy-enabled and interoperable environment for regulated financial markets, allowing institutions to coordinate transactions without making commercially sensitive information publicly visible. Ekiden extends that environment into derivatives trading by bringing execution, liquidity, and settlement together within a single venue.
“Ekiden’s mainnet is a notable addition to Canton’s application layer, bringing order book execution, privacy, and settlement into a single venue designed for professional trading,” said Viv Diwakar, Head of the Canton Foundation. “Launches like this act as a catalyst as the network broadens its offerings in on-chain derivatives, and we look forward to seeing a range of venues and participants contribute to that growth over time.”
According to a 2026 Coinbase and EY survey, 73% of institutional decision-makers plan to increase their digital asset allocations. Supporting this growth requires reliable execution, liquidity, price discovery, privacy, and infrastructure capable of handling institutional order flow.
“Tokenization alone does not create institutional markets,” said Vitali Dervoed, founder and CEO of Ekiden. “For tokenized assets to trade at scale, institutions need execution quality, liquidity, privacy, and workflows that reflect how professional trading actually works. Canton provides the institutional environment. We add the trading infrastructure layer for on-chain derivatives.”
Existing on-chain trading venues have largely developed around retail participation, passive liquidity pools, and public execution environments. Professional trading firms have different requirements, including deterministic execution, low-latency API access, configurable privacy, and the ability to manage positions and capital movements without exposing commercially sensitive information to the wider market.
Ekiden’s architecture is intended to address these requirements while preserving the operational benefits of on-chain settlement. The platform allows the lifecycle of a derivatives transaction from price discovery and execution through to settlement to take place within Canton’s privacy-enabled environment.
During its first week on the Canton testnet, Ekiden recorded 1,502 active users, more than 72,000 trades, and approximately $8.9 million in trading volume. The company is working with 11 integration partners and has integrated 12 market makers ahead of its expansion on mainnet.
Initial liquidity is supported by market makers, including Keyrock, Kappa Lab, and Flowdesk. Ekiden plans to add further liquidity providers, onboard more institutional participants, and expand the range of derivatives available through the platform.
In May 2026, Ekiden raised $2 million in seed financing to develop institutional-grade infrastructure for on-chain derivatives. The round included investors and strategic participants connected to GSR, Flowdesk, Pyth, Aptos, G20, DCF God, Curiosity Capital, and Keyrock.
The mainnet launch strengthens Canton Network’s position as infrastructure for institutional digital markets by adding a dedicated venue for derivatives execution and settlement. It also broadens the range of financial activity that can take place across the network while maintaining the privacy and workflow controls required by professional market participants.
About Ekiden
Ekiden operates an institutional derivatives exchange on Canton Network, combining central limit order book and request-for-quote execution with on-chain settlement, privacy controls, and institutional custody workflows. The platform is live and open to proprietary trading firms, funds, market makers, and bank trading desks.
