History

Japanese yen uncollateralized overnight call market started in July 1985.[https://www.stat-search.boj.or.jp/ssi/mtshtml/fm02_m_1_en.html BOJ's Main Time-series Statistics]

Since December 28, 2016, the Bank of Japan has recommended the TONA rate as the preferred Japanese yen risk-free reference rate.[https://www.boj.or.jp/en/paym/market/sg/rfr1612c.pdf Report on the Identification of a Japanese Yen Risk-Free Rate - Study Group on Risk-Free Reference Rates - Bank of Japan]{{Cite web|url=https://www.clarusft.com/libor-reform-what-you-need-to-know/|title=Libor Reform – What You Need to Know|date=26 September 2017}}

TONA rate is recommended as a replacement for Japanese yen LIBOR, which was phased out at the end of 2021, and Euroyen TIBOR, which will be terminated at the end of 2024.{{cite news |title=Libor Enters 'Final Chapter' as Global Regulators Set End Dates |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-05/libor-s-end-now-within-sight-as-u-k-s-fca-sets-final-dates |access-date=10 March 2021 |work=Bloomberg.com |date=5 March 2021 |language=en}}[https://www.zenginkyo.or.jp/en/libor/ LIBOR Transition | Japanese Bankers Association][https://www.jbatibor.or.jp/english/reform/ JBA TIBOR Reform | JBA TIBOR]
