Global leading market maker Virtu Financial Inc. (VIRTU) recently announced that it has signed strategic cooperation agreements with several top international financial institutions.

This collaboration aims to deepen investment in the Asian market, particularly in Japan’s financial sector.

The initial plan was for a $1.5 billion fund, but after several rounds of discussions, it has been expanded to $1.9 billion. The funds will mainly be used to invest in Japan’s stock market, funds, and trust products to promote the long-term healthy development of Japan’s capital markets.

With the Federal Reserve continuing its interest rate cuts and the global liquidity environment becoming more accommodative, international capital is accelerating its flow into Asia. Foreign institutions are generally optimistic about the potential of the Japanese market, believing that after the Nikkei average index surpassed 50,000 points, Japanese financial assets are entering a new upward cycle, bringing broad opportunities for investors.

Virtu’s Japan CEO Hiroyuki Kasai, in an interview with CNBC, stated, “We aim to position Japan as the most important expansion base for Virtu’s global financial footprint. In the future, we will focus on the Japanese market, drive local financial innovation, and lay the foundation for full entry into the Asia-Pacific region.”

This collaboration is seen by the industry as an important signal that international capital is further strengthening its confidence in Japan’s financial markets, and it also suggests that Japan may play a more crucial role in the new global capital landscape.
