Japan’s Banking Giants Unite for Yen Stablecoin Launch

Three of Japan's largest banks — Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, and Mizuho Financial Group — will jointly issue a yen stablecoin by March, the end of the current financial year. They have formed a council to prepare for the launch, with the Japanese Financial Services Agency and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party expressing support. Yen-pegged stablecoins currently represent a minor part of the market, with JPYC being the most notable example. Separately, the New York State Department of Financial Services has proposed stringent new regulations for stablecoin issuers, focusing on stricter reserve custody rules, enhanced risk management, and mandatory executive certifications and audits.
