AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings weighs JPYC stablecoin payments to 2,300 partners
Japanese logistics company AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings is pushing to introduce yen-linked stablecoin JPYC for payments to about 2,300 partner firms, including independent transport operators such as truck drivers. It is considering settling fees and compensation in JPYC to shorten payment cycles and speed transfers, citing the absence of transfer fees. The company is also weighing a partnership with JPYC and discussing an investment of more than 1 billion yen. A JPYC executive said it will keep advancing integration of logistics and commercial payment flows.
