Revolutionizing 'Overseas Payments' for Japanese Companies: Launching Regulatory-Compliant Cross-Border Stablecoin Settlements

Tradom Inc., with the mission of providing "infrastructure that enables every business to compete globally," announced the launch of "Tradom Payment," a regulatory-compliant cross-border settlement service. This service allows overseas buyers to pay with stablecoins while enabling Japanese companies to receive payments in Japanese yen or other fiat currencies.

With "Tradom Payment," overseas buyers can pay for goods and services using stablecoins such as USDC. Japanese sellers receive funds in fiat currency, allowing them to adapt to new digital payment needs spreading rapidly overseas without needing to hold or manage stablecoins directly.

This initiative marks what Tradom believes is "Japan's first" cross-border stablecoin settlement service (based on public information as of May 21, 2026), realizing the concept of "Stablecoin abroad, fiat currency in Japan."

■ Changing "Payment Methods" Globally
Recently, stablecoin-based payments and remittances, particularly those pegged to the US dollar, have spread rapidly, especially in emerging economies. Factors include:
- Needs for cheaper settlement and remittance
- Needs for 24/7 instant settlement
- Rising demand for USD due to local currency inflation
- Unestablished banking infrastructure

While previously associated with investment or crypto-trading, stablecoins are now widely used as a "practical payment method" overseas, particularly in cross-border e-commerce and trade transactions. However, Japanese companies have been limited to traditional payment methods like bank transfers or credit cards, lacking the environment to receive these new payment formats. "Tradom Payment" was developed to bridge this gap between global payment shifts and the challenges faced by Japanese businesses.

■ Stablecoin Abroad, Fiat Currency in Japan
In "Tradom Payment," overseas buyers pay with stablecoins, which are then converted into fiat currency according to Tradom’s established methods and remitted to Japanese sellers. This allows businesses to receive payments in fiat currency while minimizing accounting and management burdens associated with holding stablecoins.

■ "Lower Cost and Faster" Than Traditional Methods
Leveraging new digital payment technologies, "Tradom Payment" offers more cost-effective and faster settlements compared to traditional methods. It supports small-scale payments and transactions with emerging markets, covering a wide range of use cases including cross-border e-commerce, trade, and digital content sales.

■ Toward Next-Generation Payment Infrastructure for the AI Agent Era
With the future in mind where AI agents autonomously purchase goods and services, a payment environment based on stablecoins—which serve as programmable money—is expanding globally. Through "Tradom Payment," Tradom aims to connect the global flow of money to Japanese companies and build next-generation payment infrastructure suitable for the AI era.
