JPYC has introduced a yen-backed stablecoin, marking a significant development as Asia's first global fiat-pegged token. This stablecoin utilizes the yen's convertibility to inject Japan's low-rate liquidity into decentralized finance (DeFi), allowing traders to borrow digital yen at low costs and pursue higher yields in dollar-linked assets. However, JPYC has set a redemption limit of $6,500 per day, reflecting Japan's cautious financial stance. This launch aligns with the Bank of Japan's decision to maintain interest rates at 0.5%, highlighting a yield differential with DeFi platforms offering returns between 6% and 14%.
