Additionally, the companies revealed that they would utilize Progmat's software-as-a-service (SaaS) "digital asset issuance and management platform" to launch the token.


Per a report from the Japanese-language media outlet CoinPost and official Toyota Financial Services press releases, the financial heavyweights Daiwa Securities and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank are also collaborating on the offering.
