At the 2025 Singapore PayFi ReWrite forum, Slash Vision Labs COO Tokio Nakamoto emphasized the advantages of crypto payments in merchant fund management. Nakamoto highlighted that while traditional platforms like Visa and PayPal often leave funds idle, crypto payments enable better fund utilization, potentially offsetting intermediary fees with short-term returns. He noted that although crypto payments may not yet surpass traditional methods in Japan, they offer significant benefits for cross-border transactions, including 24/7 availability and lower costs. Nakamoto also outlined Slash Vision Labs' focus on compliance within Japan's strict crypto regulations, aiming to provide a secure entry point for local businesses into the crypto space. The company seeks to promote long-term adoption by adhering to Japan's mature licensing and consumer finance standards, distinguishing itself from competitors targeting global crypto-native users.
