Datachain Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Satoshi Hisada, hereinafter "Datachain") announces that a patent for a remittance system using stablecoins linked with the Swift system has been registered.
This patent was announced as having completed its application on October 22, 2024 (*1), and has now officially completed its patent registration. Going forward, in conjunction with the issuance status of trust-type stablecoins (third-party electronic payment instruments), we aim to commercialize and expand the application of this patented remittance scheme in collaboration with domestic and international financial institutions.
1. Overview of the Patent
This patent relates to a remittance system using stablecoins linked with the Swift system. Specifically, it protects the technology concerning the configuration and processing method of a system that utilizes Swift's API framework, an existing international interbank communication network, to realize stablecoin remittances via banks.
This system enables senders to perform high-speed and low-cost international remittances through traditional bank channels, without being aware of the existence of stablecoins or blockchain, while addressing practical challenges including AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism) and regulatory compliance.

Patent Number
No. 7850327
Inventors
Yusuke Takezawa, Tatsuya Saito, Satoshi Hisada
Patent Holders
Progmat Inc., Datachain Co., Ltd.
2. Significance of Patent Acquisition
The cross-border remittance market reached a scale of 194 trillion dollars (approximately 29,000 trillion yen) as of 2024 (*2), and the G20 is calling for fundamental improvements in four areas: remittance costs, arrival speed, access, and transparency. As stablecoin-related legal frameworks are rapidly developing in various countries, similar schemes for stablecoin remittances linked with Swift are expected to emerge worldwide.
This patent registration establishes intellectual property rights for the core technology of our Swift-linked stablecoin remittance system, further strengthening our competitive advantage in the global market. Furthermore, international applications (PCT applications) and patent applications in major countries are being pursued in parallel for this patent, expanding the scope of intellectual property protection globally.
3. Future Outlook
Currently, demonstration experiments for cross-border payments and securities settlements based on the use of trust-type stablecoins (third-party electronic payment instruments) are underway in Japan, supported by the Financial Services Agency's "FinTech Demonstration Experiment Hub / Payment Advancement Project (PIP)".
Datachain will promote the implementation and expanded application of the Swift-linked remittance scheme protected by this patent in collaboration with domestic and international financial institutions, in step with the progress of issuance and distribution of such trust-type stablecoins.
