Japan's stablecoin market is advancing through two distinct regulatory frameworks, catering to different user bases. JPYC, operating under a 'second-class funds transfer' license, targets DeFi and retail users with a transaction cap of 10 million yen. It utilizes public blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana. Meanwhile, Japan's major banks, including Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui, and Mizuho, are developing the Progmat platform for institutional and enterprise-level transactions, which have no transaction limits. Progmat's framework supports compliance-driven, programmable stablecoins for securities tokenization and B2B payments. This dual-track strategy aims to balance innovation with financial stability in Japan's digital asset landscape.
