TOKYO GAS Co., Ltd.: Action Policy Toward Continuous Corporate Value Enhancement

TOKYO, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — FY25 marks our 140th anniversary and the final year of our current Medium-Term Management Plan (MTMP). As we reach this milestone, we are reaffirming our commitment to continuous corporate value enhancement.
Since FY20, our PBR had been below 1.0x, and with our profit outlook for FY24, we recognize that there are concerns from investors about achieving an ROE of 8% in the next fiscal year. We recognize the importance of addressing these concerns with urgency.
Since the announcement of current MTMP, we have accelerated our efforts to enhance corporate value. On January 31, we clearly committed to achieving a ROE of 8% in FY25 and demonstrated our willingness to aim for an ROE exceeding 10% around FY30. Capital efficiency is the core financial metric that our team uses and we believe shareholders should also use to evaluate our financial performance over time. We promised to present our key themes for the next MTMP by the end of March, and we are committed to prioritizing dialogue with stakeholders as we formulate our next MTMP.
Achieving high ROE targets is not an easy task for a company like ours, which is required to hold a significant amount of assets to be able to provide stable infrastructure services. However, we believe we can achieve these targets by leveraging our solid domestic customer base and assets to enhance the profitability and asset value of our existing businesses. Additionally, we believe expanding into adjacent and interconnecting our businesses to create new value will better position us to achieve our targets. Domestically, we aim to increase corporate value by cross-selling gas, electricity, and solutions to our customer base, further strengthening the customer base itself, and converting existing real estate assets in our urban development business, integrating building and energy system development/operation. Internationally, we will focus on ensuring profitability in our shale gas business while expanding into mid/downstream operations in the U.S. and LNG trading. Furthermore, strengthening resilience of existing infrastructure and working towards carbon neutrality are also crucial missions that support these efforts.
Growth investments are essential for continuous value creation, and we are strengthening our investment discipline and elevating our investment strategies. For example, in the shale gas business, we learned from past experiences to invest in a US shale company with management familiar with local operations, strengthen governance, and gradually acquire a majority stake. This has allowed us to execute advanced area strategies and expansion investments. As a result, our shale gas business is expected to become a major profit pillar in FY25.
Under the current MTMP, our financial strategy, which is instrumental for our growth, includes a highly flexible capital return policy. This policy includes a baseline target total return ratio of 40%, with room for opportunistic increases beyond that target as appropriate. To maintain capital efficiency, we are conducting significant share buybacks in FY25, as we did in FY24, to reverse the increase in equity from strong performance over the past two years to appropriate levels. We aim to enhance corporate value through this dual approach of steady growth investments and appropriate capital policies.
With this announcement, we hope to convey our plan to deliver continuous corporate value enhancement, earning the trust of our multiple stakeholders and securing your support over the medium- to long-term.

Bybit Leads March Capital Inflows and Reclaims No.2 in Trading Volume

DUBAI, UAE, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has staged a remarkable comeback, recording $3.61 billion in asset inflows in March and reclaiming the No.2 spot in trading volume. The latest inflows serve as a testament to the effectiveness of Bybit’s rapid recovery strategies and its unwavering commitment to user security and transparency.
According to DeFiLama data, Bybit led centralized exchanges in capital inflows over the past month, adding $3.61 billion in March and reaching a total value locked (TVL) of $14.9 billion as of March 31, 2025. Over the 31-day period, Bybit’s significant inflows across timeframes (7-day: $612.62 million, 1-month: $3.61 billion) underscore the confidence users have placed in the platform. Bybit has withstood one of the greatest tests in crypto history, setting new benchmarks in rapid recovery strategies across: security recalibration, operational and financial resilience, and trust building.
Bybit Reclaims No. 2 Spot in Trading Volume
Bybit’s introduction of the Retail Price Improvement (RPI) mechanism significantly boosted spot trading volume post-hack, reaffirming its dominance in retail liquidity. RPI orders, tailored specifically for retail clients, drove unparalleled liquidity in key trading pairs like BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT. From February 27 to March 3, Bybit achieved three times the liquidity of the market leader across the top 12 trading pairs.
Throughout this period, Bybit maintained full platform functionality, ensuring uninterrupted withdrawals, new token activities, and robust rewards programs. These strategic efforts not only reinforced user trust but also fueled Bybit’s resurgence, solidifying its position as the go-to exchange for traders worldwide.
New data from CoinGecko (April 1, 2025) confirms that Bybit has reclaimed its position as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume.

Business As Usual: New Token Activities, Innovation, and Rewards
Bybit’s ability to bounce back is driven by several factors, including favorable market conditions and a more constructive regulatory environment under the new U.S. administration. More importantly, Bybit has remained laser-focused on delivering a best-in-class user experience, offering continuous rewards, innovative product features, and seamless service.
Bybit introduced multiple new token listings, including WAL, PARTI, CORN, and NEAR, alongside exciting airdrop campaigns. Notably, the Bybit Web3 AI-DOL Superstar competition—the first Web3 idol competition—showcased the platform’s ability to drive engagement and innovation in decentralized finance.
The spectrum of new initiatives and rewards events demonstrated Bybit’s capability to fend off major crises and to generate post-crisis growth, as is reflected in the positive capital inflows in March.
“We do not let setbacks define us. Bybit remains committed to our users and the broader crypto community, ensuring continuous innovation and stability. Our capability to sustain operations and roll out new initiatives, even during challenging times, demonstrates our resilience, dedication to long-term growth, and the strong support we receive from the industry,” said Joan Han, Sales and Marketing Director of Bybit.
Bybit is also committed to long-term programs for trust-building, transparency and accountability. Users and stakeholders may keep up with Bybit’s regular Proof-of-Reserves updates and the Bybit-led initiative to combat the circulation of illicit funds in the crypto ecosystem, LazarusBounty.

Antier Shapes the Future of Real World Asset Tokenization in Sync with Dubai’s Bold Move

Antier, the world’s largest Blockchain Development Company, is expanding its Real Estate Tokenization Platform Development services to the UAE region to accelerate the adoption of tokenization.
NOTTINGHAM, England, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Behind every real estate asset lies a story — a vision of ownership, an opportunity for investment, and a pathway to financial freedom. Antier is making this vision a reality through its cutting-edge Real Estate Tokenization Platform, which is designed to transform how real estate is bought, sold, and invested in across borders.
Antier’s End-to-End RWA Tokenization Solutions Set a Global Benchmark
With over 100+ successful RWA Tokenization platform implementations in more than 20+ countries, Antier brings unmatched expertise in developing robust, compliant, and scalable tokenization ecosystems. As the tokenized asset market is expected to hit $16 trillion by 2030 (Boston Consulting Group), Antier is emerging as a key enabler for enterprises, governments, and financial institutions ready to embrace the token economy.
“We’re building the infrastructure to revolutionize property ownership, not just by changing perceptions but by creating real empowerment, accessibility, and diverse investment opportunities,” said Vikram R Singh, CEO and Founder of Antier.
With real estate tokenization projected to grow significantly, market insights suggest that tokenized real estate could make up 7% of total property transactions in Dubai alone, reaching an estimated $16 billion by 2033. Antier sees this as a pivotal moment to bridge the gap between traditional real estate markets and the future of digital assets. The tokenization initiative will benefit a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including:
- Real estate development firms
- Property brokers and investment companies
- Fintech organizations
- Individual and institutional investors
- Tech-driven real estate platforms
Comprehensive Tokenization Solutions: A Stack of Innovation
Antier offers end-to-end tokenization platform services designed to address the specific challenges and opportunities within the real estate market, including:
- Fractional Ownership Platforms: For investors to buy and trade fractional shares of real estate assets and fractionalize access to high-value properties.
- Blockchain-powered Title Management: Unlock transparent and secure property deed registration through the blockchain.
- Liquidity Enhancement: This creates accessible investment opportunities for a wider range of investors and makes real estate trading more fluid and seamless.
- Regulatory Compliance: Navigate stringent regulatory requirements to ensure full compliance with financial standards.
Global Footprint and Proven Execution
With a blockchain workforce of over 600+ professionals, Antier has deployed a wide range of RWA tokenization and DeFi projects globally. The firm has successfully implemented tokenization platforms for clients in Switzerland, UAE, UK, Singapore, and the U.S., including enterprise-grade solutions for institutional asset managers, real estate developers, and government agencies.
Each project follows a compliance-first architecture with embedded KYC/AML workflows, regulatory auditability, and enterprise-grade security—ensuring that clients are ready to meet evolving global standards.
“We view security as the core of everything we do. It’s not an add-on; it’s our promise. Our platform integrates multi-layered protection mechanisms, including encryption, multi-signature authentication, and rigorous regulatory checks to ensure every transaction is secure, transparent, and compliant,” added Vikram R Singh.
Inspiration from Global Successes
Antier’s real estate tokenization strategy draws inspiration from successful global examples, such as Dubai’s blockchain-powered real estate tokenization pilot. Antier’s approach focuses on:
- Collaborative partnerships with real estate firms
- Customized technological solutions tailored to each client’s needs
- Robust security protocols to ensure peace of mind
- Continuous regulatory compliance to meet evolving standards
- User-friendly platforms that simplify complex processes
Synergy with Dubai’s RWA Tokenization Vision
Dubai is rapidly positioning itself as a global leader in Web3 and tokenized finance. The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) recently released clear guidelines for tokenized securities and real-world assets, setting the stage for institutional adoption.
“Dubai’s proactive regulatory environment is a perfect match for our RWA solutions,” said Vikram R. Singh, Founder & CEO of Antier. “As tokenization reshapes global finance, we’re proud to provide the infrastructure needed to bridge the gap between traditional finance and Web3.”
Antier is already engaged with partners and clients in the UAE to develop tokenized marketplaces aligned with Dubai’s long-term digital asset strategy. Its commitment to regulatory clarity, deep tech, and real-world delivery positions it as a strategic catalyst in the region’s Web3 transformation. Its future goals include:
- Continuous technology innovation to enhance platform capabilities.
