Nice turnout at ETFs in Depth Asia which is in Tokyo this year. ETF market growing here just like everywhere else but BoJ still owns 80% of the ETFs. They have vanilla but now looking at buffers, spot crypto and private co-spiked ETFs, similar to US. Big dif tho bt US and rest of world is fee-based advisors/RIAs. Most still in bank/broker/MF commission system like US 40yrs ago (= high fees, MF stickiness).
