Osaka Exchange's recent move is quite interesting, aiming to attract international players to trade Japanese bond futures. Not gonna lie, this kind of situation can actually be an opportunity; high volatility is just like this. The Japanese bond market has been shaking quite fiercely lately, with trading volume skyrocketing. It seems that truly internationalizing it requires some real skills; you can't just talk about it. How many people this can attract to gamble depends on how they package this thing. Having more people involved—who knows if that's good or bad? Risks might be even greater?

The Osaka Exchange's move will definitely be seen as a masterstroke three years from now. Opening government bond futures to international players—are we just spreading out the pie?

Osaka Exchange wants to suck blood from international markets again? Can the recent Japanese bond operations stay stable? --- The 20-year JGB futures attract new international players, but honestly, it's still a liquidity issue. --- With such intense volatility, who dares to take the risk unless they have enough stability? --- It's that same routine of "optimizing products to attract global investors," but whenever there's a slight movement in Asian bond markets, they start messing around. --- Japanese bond markets have been really crazy lately. Record-high trading volumes sound great, but the risks are also truly significant.

The Osaka Exchange's move is to grab orders from international players. The 20-year JGB futures have indeed been a bit slow.
