Nomura’s digital asset arm Laser Digital Japan included Shiba Inu among the six tokens approved for its newly licensed Japanese platform, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Shiba Inu had joined the Japanese Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association (JVCEA) Green List in November 2025, after being listed on at least eight licensed Japanese exchanges.
