Japan Post Bank is heading towards the yen currency based on blockchain for depositors, and the premiere is planned at the end of the tax year 2026.
Japan Post Bank takes in blockchain for digital yen
As reported ReutersJapan Post Bank plans to launch digital Jena in the coming year. Japan Post Bank is a bank from Tokyo, which originally began as a savings system in 1875, and today it manages deposits of around $ 190 trillion (almost USD 1.3 trillion in US dollars).
Historically fully belonging to the Japanese government, the institution opened up to private shareholders in 2007, but still counts the Japanese state among its supporters.
It seems that the bank wants to introduce its mass depositor base to the blockchain era. The novel currency, known as “DJPY”, will be developed by DCP DCP, the Japanese digital currency platform and will be supported by Fiat Yena.
Both companies plan to spend digital Jenies by the end of the 2026 tax year. After its launch, bank users will be able to convert their funds to DJPY and participate in blockchain -based transactions.
While DCJPY will operate blockchain technology, it will be different from Stablecoin. Stablecouins are cryptocurrencies set for FIAT currency, which is usually available to trade in public exchanges and other platforms. Meanwhile, DJPY will be a token based on deposits available in the Japan Post Bank financial system.
The bank is not the first financial institution in the country that launched such a blockchain product. Last year, GMO Aozora Net Bank also started a similar offer of digital Jen.
Speaking of Stablecouins, these cryptocurrencies have recently witnessed legislative pressure in Asia, and Hong Kong issued its account Stablecoin at the beginning of August, and South Korea is to launch its framework in October.
Japan introduced its legislation Stablecoin in 2022. So far, no stableleins have been approved, but according to the report you can gain green lithe from regulators after October.
Digital resources related to FIAT have recently observed significant growth and studied novel ups of all time (ATHS), in accordance with the data with Macromicro.
