According to market news, the Japanese yen stablecoin issuer JPYC has completed the first phase of its Series B financing, raising approximately 1.78 billion yen (about 12 million USD), led by Japanese IT solutions provider Asteria. Most of the funding comes from domestic Japanese companies and investment institutions, with BitFlyer Holdings also participating.

JPYC was launched in October 2025 under Japan's regulatory framework for fund transfer businesses and is currently the only onshore yen stablecoin. It has partnered with Densan Systems, which provides payment infrastructure for about 65,000 convenience stores in Japan, to explore domestic payments, cross-border remittances, and travel payment applications in convenience store scenarios, and is involved in Circle's stablecoin foreign exchange quoting system StableFX for cross-border settlements.
