JPYC Launches Regulated 1:1 Yen-Pegged Stablecoin on JPYC EX
JPYC Co., Ltd launched the regulated JPYC stablecoin at a 1:1 conversion rate with the Japanese yen on October 27, 2025. Fully backed by Japanese bank deposits and government bonds, the JPYC stablecoin is redeemable on demand through its dedicated JPYC EX platform, which offers real-time on-chain settlement, multi-chain support (Avalanche, Ethereum, Polygon) and zero transaction fees at launch.
Registered as a funds transfer service provider under Japan’s Payment Services Act on August 18, JPYC EX streamlines stablecoin issuance and redemption, enhances liquidity and ensures regulatory compliance. Traders and institutions can now leverage the JPYC stablecoin as a transparent, secure yen-based on-ramp for digital transactions, hedging exposure and tapping into Asia’s growing crypto market.
Bullish
The launch of the regulated JPYC stablecoin and JPYC EX platform is likely bullish for the token and broader market sentiment. In the short term, zero-fee real-time settlement and multi-chain support can drive immediate adoption among traders seeking a reliable yen-based hedge and on-ramp into crypto. Over the long term, regulatory backing under the Payment Services Act and full asset backing enhance credibility and liquidity, positioning JPYC as a foundational pillar in Japan’s digital finance infrastructure and encouraging institutional participation.
