The product went live on Bybit’s RWA Earn platform on November 9, 2026. Eligible users can now get exposure to a Japanese stock fund without ever opening a brokerage account in Tokyo. How JPE actually works JPE is not the fund itself. It is a depository receipt token for JX, which is the tokenized version of the SBI Japan High Dividend Equity Fund (Growth Type). The fund holds the stocks, JX represents the fund on-chain, and JPE represents JX for Bybit users. JX was originally created by DigiFT. Plume supplies the infrastructure that lets the Bybit version function, while SBI Asset Management continues to manage the underlying strategy. The entry ticket is 5,000 USDC. That figure is the minimum investment for JPE on Bybit. There are no subscription fees and no redemption fees attached to the product. Redemptions typically settle on a T+5 basis.
