Japanese yen-pegged stablecoin market development

Overview

The Japanese stablecoin market is seeing increased capital and regulatory integration. In August 2026, JPYC Inc. secured approximately 6 billion yen in total Series B funding, including a 1 billion yen investment from AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings to develop blockchain-based logistics payments.

By September 2026, SBI Holdings began investing a portion of its JPYSC stablecoin reserves into Japanese government bonds. This follows the implementation of a revised Payment Services Act on June 1, 2026, which permits eligible trust-backed stablecoins to allocate up to 50 percent of their tokens into short-term government bonds or time deposits to manage liquidity.
