Creating a New Economic Zone Worth 10 Trillion Yen: Comprehensive Review of Stablecoin-Related Topics <Kabutan Top Feature>

Yahoo Finance | Local Language | News | Nov. 10, 2025 | UndeterminedEconomic Growth

In late October 2025, JPYC, a domestic fintech company in Tokyo, began issuing Japan’s first yen-denominated stablecoin under the Payment Services Act. JPYC aims to establish a new economic zone worth approximately 10 trillion yen within three years through partnerships and open financial infrastructure accessible to all. Stablecoins have garnered significant investor interest since August 2025 due to expectations of broad adoption despite short-term market fluctuations.

Globally, stablecoin-related initiatives have advanced with the U.S. enacting the "Genius Law" in July to promote stablecoin use, and the European Central Bank and major banks working on euro-denominated stablecoins. China is also actively developing regulatory frameworks to encourage adoption. In Japan, three mega banks including Mitsubishi UFJ Bank plan to jointly issue a stablecoin using the fintech startup Progmat’s system, supported by the Financial Services Agency’s proof-of-concept efforts. Additional developments include Fukuoka Financial Group exploring commercialization with U.S. fintech firms, SBI Holdings handling the dollar-denominated USDC, CCIG Group launching Japan’s first deposit-type stablecoin "Tochika" in 2024, and GMO Internet Group issuing stablecoins via its U.S. subsidiary since 2021.

The emerging stablecoin market has heightened investor focus on small- and mid-cap IT system stocks linked to the fintech ecosystem. Companies like Asteria and Densan System Holdings saw significant stock price increases following stablecoin announcements, with other interested firms including Persol Holdings, Aiful, United, and TWOSTONE & Sons. Marketing support firm Speee, through its subsidiary Datachain, has invested in Progmat, while Intertrade’s affiliate Digital Asset Markets supports Densan System’s stablecoin infrastructure. Additional players planning proprietary stablecoin initiatives include GladCube with its "SPAIA Coin" by fiscal 2026, Port entering stablecoin deal-closing services, Simplex Holdings developing issuance and redemption systems, and Internet Initiative’s group company DeCurret developing the "DCJPY" digital currency expected to be adopted by Japan Post Bank.
