Japan's three megabanks complete yen stablecoin cross-border payment trial

  • —The trial covered issuance, transfer and redemption between Mitsubishi Corp offices in Japan and overseas
  • —The stablecoin uses a trust-beneficiary structure under Japan's Payment Services Act
  • —Launch date, issuance size and fees have not been disclosed
  • —More than 90% of global stablecoins are denominated in US dollars
Why it matters: The project could give Japanese corporates a yen-denominated settlement tool and sharpen competition with dollar stablecoins.
