Сообщение от ChainCatcher, согласно официальным данным, японская сеть магазинов Lawson проведет 6 и 17 августа в двух своих магазинах в Токио первый в Японии эксперимент по оплате стабильными монетами на POS-терминалах. В эксперименте будут использоваться три стабильные монеты: JPYC, USDC и USDT, платежи будут осуществляться через кошельки HashPort Wallet и MetaMask, а расчеты будут обрабатываться платежным шлюзом PAYTREE от Canal Payment Service, без необходимости в специализированных платежных терминалах.Эксперимент пройдет 6 августа в магазине Gateway City в Таканаве с использованием HashPort Wallet и JPYC; 17 августа в магазине Atrium в Осаки с использованием MetaMask, а также USDC, USDT и JPYC.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно Cointelegraph, японская логистическая компания AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings планирует использовать стабильную монету JPYC для оплаты около 2300 коммерческим партнерам, что может стать первым крупномасштабным случаем использования стабильной монеты JPYC в японской корпоративной среде. Эта стабильная монета будет использоваться для оплаты услуг и вознаграждений транспортным подрядчикам (включая водителей грузовиков).Поскольку JPYC не взимает комиссии за переводы, использование стабильной монеты позволяет осуществлять более быстрые и частые платежи. AZ-COM Maruwa также рассматривает возможность сотрудничества с JPYC и планирует инвестировать более 1 миллиарда иен (примерно 6,2 миллиона долларов США). AZ-COM Maruwa является средней японской логистической компанией, основными клиентами которой являются Amazon Japan.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, по данным FN News, японская сеть магазинов удобства Lawson начнет пилотный проект по оплате с использованием JPYC (стабильной монеты, привязанной к иене) в начале августа в магазине Gateway City в Токио. Этот пилотный проект осуществляется в сотрудничестве с поставщиком цифровых активов Hashport и направлен на то, чтобы потребители могли использовать электронные кошельки на смартфонах для оплаты.Это первый случай в Японии, когда стабильные монеты связываются с POS-системами для проведения испытаний. Подключив POS-систему, данные о покупке, такие как количество товаров и время оплаты, могут быть интегрированы в существующую систему управления магазинами. Lawson планирует проверить стабильность интеграции с POS-системой и время, необходимое для фактической оплаты, прежде чем принимать решение о полном внедрении этой системы.

ChainCatcher news, the world's first stablecoin pegged to the Japanese yen was officially issued in Japan today.Japanese startup JPYC announced the issuance of a stablecoin that is fully convertible to the yen, supported by domestic savings and Japanese government bonds. Ryozo Himino, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Japan, stated last week that stablecoins could become key players in the global payment system, partially replacing the role of bank deposits. JPYC will initially not charge transaction fees to expand its usage, generating revenue through the interest earned from holding Japanese government bonds. Tomoyuki Shimoda, a scholar from Rikkyo University and former central bank executive, believes that the popularization of the yen stablecoin in Japan will take at least 2-3 years.

ChainCatcher news reports that, according to economist Robin Brooks, Japan is facing a potential debt crisis, with its debt-to-GDP ratio reaching about 240%, further exacerbated by rising inflation and government bond yields. However, a U.S. economic recession may provide Japan with a brief window of relief by lowering global bond yields and easing fiscal pressure.Brooks points out that Japan is currently in a dilemma: maintaining low interest rates could lead to further depreciation of the yen and trigger uncontrollable inflation; allowing yields to rise further to stabilize the yen could jeopardize debt sustainability. This predicament may drive investors towards alternative financial instruments such as cryptocurrencies and stablecoins.Notably, Japanese startup JPYC plans to issue the first stablecoin pegged to the yen this year. Additionally, since 2021, the yen has depreciated by 41%, intensifying domestic inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, the yield on Japan's 10-year government bonds has risen from nearly zero in 2020 to 1.6%, the highest level since 2008, with the 30-year yield also reaching multi-decade highs, reflecting investor concerns over fiscal risks.Brooks believes that a U.S. economic recession could temporarily lower Japanese bond yields, buying Japan some time. However, a long-term solution will still require cuts in spending or increases in taxes, but whether the Japanese public will accept these measures remains uncertain.

ChainCatcher news, according to the Japanese yen stablecoin issuer JPYC, the yen stablecoin plans to be deployed on Ethereum, Avalanche, and Polygon.On November 10, 2021, the Japanese yen stablecoin issuer JPYC completed a 500 million yen (approximately 4.43 million USD) Series A financing, led by Headline Asia, with participation from Circle Ventures.
