Pacific Meta Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Shota Iwasaki; hereinafter 'the Company'), which handles business development and consulting in the blockchain domain, is pleased to announce that it has commenced asset management utilizing the Japanese Yen stablecoin 'JPYC'.
This initiative is a new approach to utilizing stablecoins not merely as a means of holding and transferring funds, but as a method for managing corporate funds and connecting them to future settlement applications. By leveraging the expertise we have cultivated in the blockchain domain for our own fund management, we will verify the concrete possibilities of stablecoin utilization.
Background of this Initiative
Triggered by the revised Payment Services Act, which came into effect in June 2023, a regulatory framework for stablecoins as electronic payment instruments has been established in Japan. The issuance of the Japanese Yen stablecoin 'JPYC' began in 2025, making the implementation of fiat-backed stablecoins in Japan a reality.
Globally, the market capitalization of stablecoins is rapidly expanding, establishing their position as a foundational currency in diverse areas such as settlement, remittance, and asset management. In Japan, we recognize that the movement to incorporate stablecoins into corporate fund utilization and business operations will become full-fledged in the future.
In this environment, we view stablecoins not merely as a means of holding and transferring funds, but as a new tool that can also be used for asset management. As a company responsible for business development in the blockchain domain, we believe it is crucial to first practice asset management using JPYC ourselves and verify its potential.
Our Perspective: 'Asset Management' is the Greatest Use Case for Stablecoins
We believe that the greatest transformation brought about by stablecoins is not just settlement itself, but the realization of a new corporate financial infrastructure where the 'holding,' 'management,' and 'settlement' of funds held by corporations and businesses are seamlessly integrated.
Specifically, our envisioned future utilization is as follows:
1. Hold corporate funds as stablecoins
Traditionally, corporate operating funds and surplus funds that remained in bank accounts will be held in the form of stablecoins. This ensures that funds can be moved 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without geographical restrictions.
2. Continuously manage held stablecoins on-chain
The stablecoins held will be deposited into reliable on-chain lending protocols (lending platforms operating on the blockchain) for management. The basic principle is that funds should always be generating some form of return, rather than lying idle.
3. Settle directly while managing funds when necessary
When payments to business partners or business settlements are required, funds will be withdrawn directly from the lending protocol and used for settlement. This enables a state that was difficult to achieve with traditional corporate finance: 'settling while managing' rather than 'stopping management to settle.'
In other words, we perceive the true value of stablecoins in their ability to treat the traditionally fragmented 'holding,' 'management,' and 'settlement' of corporate funds in a more continuous and integrated manner. The launch of asset management using JPYC is positioned as our first step in demonstrating this future vision ourselves.
Future Outlook
Through the knowledge gained from this initiative, we will contribute to supporting the construction of enterprise-grade on-chain financial infrastructure and collaborating with financial institutions and businesses. We will steadily accumulate implementation examples of stablecoin utilization in Japan and continue to accelerate our efforts to ensure that blockchain technology is not confined to a limited area but becomes integrated into the core of corporate finance.
Currently, the scale of operations and specific protocols for management are undisclosed.
