Japan launches world's first yen-backed stablecoin
In a notable development for digital finance, Japan has launched the world’s first stablecoin pegged to the Japanese yen. The Japanese yen stablecoin, JPYC, went live on Monday on the Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche blockchains, marking a major step in the country’s approach to regulated digital assets. Each token is fully convertible into yen and backed by domestic savings and Japanese government bonds (JGBs) — a structure designed to ensure transparency and stability in line with Japan’s new stablecoin regulations.
What’s happening?
JPYC aims to issue up to ¥10 trillion (approx. US$66 billion) over three years, with the goal of wide domestic and overseas usage.
To stimulate adoption, JPYC plans to charge no transaction fees initially and intends to generate yield through interest earned on the JGB‐and‐savings backing assets.
The broader context: global stablecoins (especially dollar-pegged) dominate — over 99% of supply according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
Japanese regulators and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) are watching closely. BoJ Deputy Governor Ryōzō Himino said stablecoins “might emerge as a key player in the global payment system”.
Why this matters
For the crypto and digital-assets space, the launch is meaningful in a few respects:
It demonstrates that Japan is willing to embrace tokenised assets in a regulated environment, potentially opening new channels for innovation in payments, settlements, and fintech.
The decision to back JPYC with Japanese government bonds and domestic savings aligns with the low-risk reserve structures used by major dollar-pegged stablecoins, reflecting a traditional financial design rather than an experimental or crypto-native model.
But there are caveats and limitations
A critical assessment reveals some hurdles and questions:
Despite the ambition, an academic (former BoJ executive) noted that yen-pegged stablecoins may “take at least two to three years” to gain traction in Japan — citing consumer preference for cash and cards.
Backing by savings and JGBs may reduce risk, but also potentially means lower yields and slower growth; the model depends on interest spread which could compress.
Regulatory and systemic-risk issues remain: the BoJ has flagged concerns that stablecoins might route funds outside traditional banks, affecting deposit flows and financial stability.
Adoption overseas is an aspiration, but for a non-USD currency, cross-border usage may face currency conversion, regulatory and liquidity hurdles.
Solana’s dare markets: turning viral challenges into crypto rewards
Dare Markets, a new project built on the Solana (SOL) blockchain, is aiming to monetize viral stunts by paying users in crypto. The platform allows anyone to post or complete “dares,” with rewards distributed in USDC or SOL once the challenge is verified.
There are two ways to engage:
Bounty Mode: Someone posts a dare and attaches a crypto prize. Creators upload proof — usually a short video — and the best submission earns the payout.
Fund-My-Dare: A creator proposes a challenge and seeks crowdfunding. If 69 % of backers confirm the dare was completed as promised, the funds are released automatically.
The team says it will block dangerous or harmful content through automated and manual moderation. Dare recently raised $2 million in pre-seed funding, with backers including Karatage, Paper Ventures, and a mix of sports figures and crypto influencers.
“I like to call [Dare Market] the inverse of Polymarket, in a way. Because with Polymarket, Kalshi, or traditional prediction markets, you’re betting on the outcomes of scenarios using capital. They’ve proven themselves as great truth marketplaces,” founder Isla Rose Perfito told Decrypt.
Why It Matters
Monetizing attention: In an era where “attention is the new currency,” as founder Isla Rose Perfito put it, Dare tries to turn viral creativity into actual financial rewards.
On-chain accountability: Using Solana’s low-fee blockchain, the platform offers transparent, automatic crypto payouts when conditions are met — an experiment in linking content creation directly to blockchain validation.
Expanding the creator economy: Unlike NFTs or tipping systems, Dare pays for actions, not just content. It’s a hybrid between social media virality and decentralized finance.
Dare Markets on Solana blends the viral energy of social media with the programmable payments of crypto — a compelling idea on paper. But its success depends on whether it can keep users safe, manage payouts transparently, and prove real utility for blockchain integration.
If it works, Dare could become a case study in how Solana powers new forms of creator monetization. If it doesn’t, it might join the long list of crypto-social experiments that generated buzz — but not a sustainable business.
French opposition party proposes creation of a national Bitcoin reserve
In a recent legislative initiative, the French political party Union des droites pour la République (UDR), led by Éric Ciotti, has proposed the establishment of a national Bitcoin reserve. The draft law, submitted to the National Assembly, outlines a plan for France to gradually acquire and hold Bitcoin as part of its national reserves.
According to the text, the reserve would be managed by a newly created public administrative body, with the goal of accumulating up to 420,000 BTC — roughly 2% of Bitcoin’s total supply — over the next seven to eight years.
Purpose and proposed mechanisms
Purpose and proposed mechanisms
The proposal positions Bitcoin as a “strategic digital asset,” comparable to gold, and as a tool to strengthen France’s financial sovereignty and reduce reliance on traditional fiat currencies.
The text explicitly details the methods of acquisition:
“This constitution will be established on the primary market, through mining, and on the secondary market, by purchasing, retaining judicial seizures, directing part of French savings, and accepting the payment of taxes in bitcoins.”
In plain terms, this means France would build the reserve by:
Mining Bitcoin (market primaire) using national energy resources;
Purchasing Bitcoin on secondary markets;
Keeping judicially seized crypto-assets;
Redirecting a share of citizens’ savings toward Bitcoin investments;
Accepting tax payments in Bitcoin.
This combination of public, private, and market-based mechanisms is presented as a way to build the reserve without direct state expenditure, relying partly on already seized assets and new fiscal options.ods.
Quantitative target and justification
The bill sets a quantitative goal of holding 420,000 BTC, equivalent to 2% of Bitcoin’s capped supply (21 million coins). The drafters justify this target by comparing France’s gold reserves to those of the United States:
“By following approximately the same gold-holding ratios relative to the United States — holding about three times less — and by pursuing a similar strategy, France could aim within seven to eight years to accumulate 2% of the total supply of bitcoins.”
Currently, France holds 2,437 tonnes of gold, or 6.6% of global reserves, compared to 8,133 tonnes for the United States. Using this ratio, the proposal argues that France could mirror its gold-to-U.S. ratio in Bitcoin holdings as a symbolic measure of parity and sovereignty.
Context and significance
If adopted, France would become the first G7 nation to include Bitcoin in its official reserves. The move comes amid broader European discussions over digital currencies, particularly as the European Central Bank advances its digital euro project — a project the French right has often criticised for centralising monetary control.
More recently, the UDR and the Rassemblement National (RN) have aligned on energy-linked Bitcoin policy, jointly supporting domestic mining operations powered by surplus renewable electricity.
The bill also notes that France has already seized 302 crypto-asset holdings worth €194 million (between 2014–2024), managed by the Agence de gestion et de recouvrement des avoirs saisis et confisqués (AGRASC), which could contribute to the initial formation of the reserve.
Critical assessment
This proposal carries major political and symbolic weight — not only for its potential economic implications, but for what it reveals about the fragmentation and strategic repositioning of France’s political right.
Éric Ciotti’s UDR (16/255 seats at the Assemblée Nationale) is not the uncontested standard-bearers of the conservative camp. Other movements such as Droite Républicaine and Ensemble pour la République have emerged in recent years, reflecting a right that is split between traditional Gaullist conservatives, centrists aligned with President Macron’s “Ensemble” coalition, and a newer, more sovereignty-driven faction.
In this context, the proposal for a national Bitcoin reserve serves a dual purpose. It is both an economic statement — promoting financial sovereignty and innovation — and a political maneuver aimed at reasserting the UDR’s leadership within a fragmented right-wing landscape. By taking a clear stance on a forward-looking issue like digital assets, Ciotti’s party is seeking to differentiate itself from rival conservative factions that remain cautious or aligned with mainstream fiscal orthodoxy.
The timing is also strategic. With the 2027 presidential elections approaching, the initiative may be designed to appeal to a growing base of pro-crypto, tech-literate voters, echoing the tactics of figures like Nigel Farage in the United Kingdom, who have leveraged crypto enthusiasm as part of a broader populist message on sovereignty and independence.
That said, whether the proposal will advance legislatively remains uncertain. In France, most opposition-sponsored bills (propositions de loi) do not automatically progress to a parliamentary debate. For this to happen, the proposal must first be placed on the official agenda of the National Assembly, undergo committee review, and then be scheduled for a formal debate and vote. Because the legislative timetable is controlled by the government and the Conférence des Présidents, opposition bills often serve a symbolic or strategic purpose rather than leading to immediate lawmaking.
Even if the measure is not debated or adopted, it still functions as a powerful positioning tool, signaling that Ciotti’s party is ready to champion digital sovereignty and challenge the centralised monetary policies represented by the European Central Bank and France’s own establishment.
Finally, this initiative could have repercussions across the broader political spectrum. Should the bill gain visibility, other parties will be compelled to clarify their position on crypto-assets. Those who oppose it — particularly on the right — may later have to justify that stance to their electorate, especially younger voters who increasingly associate digital assets with economic freedom and national resilience.
The proposal is more than a niche crypto initiative: it is a strategic political signal that exposes internal divisions within the French right and sets the stage for digital asset policy to become a key campaign issue ahead of 2027. Whether it translates into tangible legislation or remains a high-profile declaration of intent, it marks an important moment in France’s evolving relationship with digital finance and political identity.
Japan’s TIS launches multi-token platform on Avalanche — a major step toward regulated digital finance
Japan’s TIS Inc., a leading payments and IT infrastructure company, has announced the launch of its Multi-Token Platform (MTP) — a blockchain-based system built in partnership with Ava Labs using the Avalanche network. The move marks a significant institutional push toward regulated tokenisation and digital payments in one of the world’s most progressive financial jurisdictions.
Who and What
TIS Inc. is one of Japan’s largest payments processors, handling approximately $2 trillion in annual transaction volume across credit-card and banking systems. On 28 October 2025, the company introduced its Multi-Token Platform, developed with AvaCloud, Avalanche’s enterprise-grade blockchain deployment framework. The platform enables financial institutions, corporates, and public-sector bodies to issue and manage stablecoins, tokenised deposits, and other tokenised assets under Japan’s regulatory framework.
How It Works
The Multi-Token Platform leverages Avalanche’s high-throughput blockchain and customisable subnets, allowing TIS and its clients to operate private, compliant environments for digital-asset issuance. It is designed to integrate with Japan’s existing financial infrastructure — offering institutions a secure and auditable way to digitise money and assets while meeting Payment Services Act requirements. According to TIS, the platform will serve as shared infrastructure that other banks and enterprises can adopt rather than a proprietary system limited to TIS itself.
When and Where
Early deployments are expected within Japan’s domestic financial ecosystem, with future expansion potentially extending to cross-border payment and settlement use cases. TIS has not yet disclosed live client names or transaction volumes, suggesting the rollout remains in its early commercial phase.
Why It Matters
Institutional scale meets blockchain: TIS’s infrastructure already underpins much of Japan’s payments ecosystem. Moving this capability onto Avalanche gives tokenisation a credible enterprise backbone.
Regulatory clarity: Japan’s well-defined rules for stablecoins and tokenised deposits make it one of the few major markets where such a platform can operate compliantly.
Programmable finance potential: By enabling stablecoin and deposit issuance on-chain, TIS could unlock faster settlement, programmable payments, and greater transparency in cash management.
Bridge between Web2 and Web3: The platform is a concrete example of how legacy financial technology firms can migrate to blockchain without abandoning regulatory or operational rigor.
Citi and Coinbase team up to modernize global payments
On 27 October 2025, Citi and Coinbase announced a strategic collaboration aimed at building digital-asset payment infrastructure for institutional clients. The partnership intends initially to improve fiat on-ramp/off-ramp functionality—enabling clients to convert traditional currency into digital assets and vice versa—and thereafter explore 24/7 payment services via stablecoins.
From Coinbase’s announcement: they will combine Coinbase’s “secure, streamlined, and scalable infrastructure for digital assets” with Citi’s global payments network (spanning 94 markets and 300+ clearing systems) to build new payment solutions for large-scale institutions.
Citi’s press release emphasises that the partnership “will first focus on streamlining fiat pay-ins/pay-outs” and payments orchestration, with “the exploration of alternative fiat to on-chain stablecoin payout methods” to follow.
Why It Matters
Bridging old and new rails
The collaboration tackles one of the main bottlenecks in digital-asset adoption: the connection between traditional finance operations (fiat settlements, corporate treasury flows) and crypto-native rails (blockchain, stablecoins). By improving on- and off-ramps and leveraging 24/7 settlement capabilities, institutions may gain faster, more flexible payment channels. For example, the potential to move value across borders with fewer intermediaries is a key attraction.
A signal of institutional seriousness
That a major global bank like Citi—not just a crypto-native startup—is entering this space suggests the broader market perceives digital-assets as moving from niche to infrastructure-grade. Past reports noted banks such as Citi themselves exploring stablecoin issuance and custody services.
Stablecoins as the pivot
The emphasis on “stablecoin payments” highlights that the focus is not speculation but value movement. Stablecoins promise the programmability and on-chain settlement of crypto with the predictability of fiat. However, this also puts pressure on regulatory, operational and technological underpinnings of these instruments.
The Citi–Coinbase partnership is a notable landmark in the evolution of digital-asset infrastructure. It signals that the boundary between traditional finance and crypto/digital-asset rails is incrementally dissolving. Yet, despite the hype, the practical embedding of institutional-grade stablecoin payments remains at an early stage. The outcome will depend heavily on execution—not just announcements.
Beyond the Brief
The G30 looks backward on the future of money
The Group of Thirty (G30) — composed of senior figures from central banks, major financial institutions, and academia — has released “The Future of Money”, a report offering a sweeping assessment of digital currencies. While the document acknowledges the transformative potential of tokenization and blockchain, its treatment of Bitcoin and stablecoins reveals a worldview rooted in the logic of the traditional banking order rather than the dynamics of the digital economy.
Coinbase’s recent piece, “The Genius Act is Genius”, takes issue with several of these assumptions. It argues that the G30’s analogies to historical banking failures, as well as its risk assessments, overlook the regulatory and technological safeguards that define modern digital assets.
Bitcoin: The Misunderstood Catalyst
"But at least for the present and foreseeable future, Bitcoin is not money. That does not mean, however, that it has no market, is of no use, and is of no value.[...] Cryptocurrencies are also popular in the underground economy due to their privacy features.[...] with the underground economy accounting for perhaps 20% of global economic activity, the market for Bitcoin is evident."
The G30’s critique of Bitcoin reflects many long-standing institutional reservations. The report accurately notes Bitcoin’s volatility, limited use as a medium of exchange, and lack of consumer protections. It also raises environmental and security concerns — citing the 2024 U.S. Energy Information Administration estimate that Bitcoin miners consume as much electricity as Australia, and warning that quantum computing might someday undermine Bitcoin’s cryptography.
Yet the report’s overall conclusion — that “Bitcoin is not money” and should remain outside the formal monetary system — is too narrow and fails to appreciate what Bitcoin actually represents.
Volatility and Function
As outlined in its original white paper,
“A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution” (Nakamoto, 2008).
Bitcoin was thus conceived as a decentralized system for direct electronic payments — a radical alternative to the bank-intermediated model of traditional money.
However, the way Bitcoin is used and understood today has evolved well beyond that founding vision. Over time, market dynamics, regulatory frameworks, and technological developments have shifted Bitcoin’s primary function from a peer-to-peer cash system toward a global digital asset and settlement layer.
In practice, Bitcoin increasingly resembles a reserve-like instrument — an asset that could, in the future, be used by central banks or financial institutions to settle cross-border payments and hold digitally verifiable reserves. Parallel developments such as the Lightning Network already make small, instant payments feasible, while emerging proposals for stablecoin layers (Layer-2s) on Bitcoin could enable both institutional and retail usage. In such a scenario, Bitcoin could serve simultaneously as a base-layer store of value and as infrastructure for daily transactions through stablecoin integrations.
On volatility, while Bitcoin remains more volatile than major fiat currencies, its realized volatility has fallen sharply over the last five years as the market has institutionalized. As shown on the graph below, Bitcoin's annualized realized volatility (in orange) has gone from 83.29% in December 2021 to 43.62% in October 2025.
At the same time, major fiat currencies such as the U.S. dollar continue to lose purchasing power under persistent inflation. In that context, Bitcoin’s role as a scarce, non-sovereign asset has become increasingly relevant. As BlackRock CEO Larry Fink remarked in an October 2025 interview, Bitcoin is now widely viewed as “digital gold” — a potential hedge against currency debasement and a new foundation for institutional settlement.
Transaction Speed and Scalability
The G30 correctly observes that Bitcoin’s base layer processes only a handful of transactions per second, but ignores technological advances like the Lightning Network, which allows for instant, low-cost payments. The assertion that Bitcoin is “slow and expensive” is increasingly outdated as scalability solutions mature. Yet it’s also worth noting that speed and low fees were never the primary objectives of Bitcoin’s design. For both individuals and institutions, the value of Bitcoin lies in its settlement finality, neutrality, and security, not in competing with payment networks like Visa on transaction throughput. Bitcoin’s slower pace is the trade-off that enables trustless validation and censorship resistance—qualities that make it uniquely suited for high-value settlements and as a reserve asset in a multi-polar financial system.
Environmental Context
Bitcoin’s energy use deserves scrutiny, but the G30 report overlooks a crucial trend: the network’s rapid transition toward cleaner and more efficient energy use. According to the Bitcoin Mining Council (2024), more than 55 % of global Bitcoin mining now relies on sustainable energy sources, and that share continues to grow as miners relocate to regions with surplus or stranded renewable power — electricity that would otherwise go unused or be curtailed due to grid imbalances.
In many markets, miners act as flexible energy consumers, drawing power during off-peak hours and shutting down when grids face higher residential or industrial demand. This makes Bitcoin mining one of the few large-scale industries capable of stabilizing renewable-heavy grids by absorbing excess generation and providing an instant “demand response” when needed. Far from being purely extractive, modern mining operations are increasingly integrated into energy-efficiency and grid-balancing strategies, especially in areas with intermittent solar, hydro, or wind resources.
Security and Finality
The G30’s claim that Bitcoin lacks “finality” misunderstands probabilistic security. In decentralized systems, finality increases over time through mathematical certainty, not institutional guarantees. This design is a feature of a trustless system — not a flaw. As for security, while centralized exchanges have suffered hacks, Bitcoin’s base protocol itself has never been compromised in its 16-year history. Furthermore, work on quantum-resistant algorithms is already underway to future-proof its cryptography.
Bitcoin may not yet be “money” in the formal sense, but it has achieved something equally important: it has redefined the global debate on what money can be. As even the G30 concedes, Bitcoin’s “ingenuity” has forced policymakers to reconsider the qualities of 21st-century currency and inspired the very innovations — like tokenization — that the report finds most promising.
Stablecoins: The G30’s Outdated Analogy
If the G30’s treatment of Bitcoin is overly skeptical, its section on stablecoins is anachronistic. The report compares stablecoins to the chaotic “free banking” era of 19th-century America, when private banks issued notes that fluctuated in value and often failed.
As we’ve detailed in our own analysis of the National Banking Act era and the privatization of money, A Historical Lens on the Privatization of Money: From Banknotes to Blockchains (read the full article here), this analogy is historically misplaced. The instability of the free banking period stemmed from state-level fragmentation, inconsistent supervision, and risky lending, none of which apply to today’s regulated stablecoin frameworks. The National Banking Acts of the 1860s, in fact, solved those very problems by introducing federal oversight and uniform note issuance—precisely the model now mirrored by modern stablecoin regulation under the GENIUS Act.
Under this new framework, stablecoin issuers must maintain 1:1 backing in cash or short-term Treasuries and operate under federal supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). These standards ensure that one regulated dollar stablecoin equals another in practice, preserving the “singleness” of money and avoiding the fragmentation the G30 warns about.
The Free Banking Myth
Nineteenth-century banknotes were unstable because issuers faced credit and liquidity risk from long-term lending, inconsistent reserves, and weak supervision. Modern stablecoins, by contrast, are structured as fully reserved payment instruments.Under the U.S. GENIUS Act, stablecoin issuers must maintain 1:1 backing in short-term Treasuries, repos, and cash — assets far safer and more liquid than those held by traditional banks.
Uniform Regulation and Parity
The G30 fears that multiple private stablecoins could fragment the monetary system. The GENIUS Act directly eliminates this risk by imposing identical reserve standards and federal oversight under the OCC. This ensures that one regulated dollar-backed stablecoin equals another in practice — preserving the “singleness” of money.
Overstated “Run Risk”
The report’s warnings of “inherent fragility” ignore that stablecoin issuers cannot engage in fractional-reserve lending. Redemption pressures are backed by fully liquid assets. Any minor deviation from parity reflects normal market dynamics, not systemic instability.
Illicit Finance: A Matter of Scale and Transparency
The G30 notes that Bitcoin can be attractive in the underground economy because it is pseudonymous and operates outside capital controls. Citing Rogoff (2025a), the report argues that with the shadow economy representing up to 20% of global activity, there will “clearly” be a market for Bitcoin in illicit or semi-illicit use. At the same time, the report concedes that Bitcoin can compare favorably to local currencies in countries with broken monetary systems — which means not all non-official usage is criminal.
Where the report overreaches is in treating this potential as a systemic threat while downplaying the fact that on-chain crime is small in absolute terms. 2024 data from Chainalysis and TRM Labs shows that illicit activity across all crypto — Bitcoin and stablecoins included — was only 0.14%–0.4% of total on-chain volume in 2024, far below the 2–5% of global GDP the UN estimates is laundered through the traditional financial system. That scale difference matters.
On stablecoins, the G30 warns they could “undercut taxation and legal enforcement” because they make dollar-like assets globally portable. But this is precisely where the GENIUS Act changes the risk profile: regulated U.S. stablecoin issuers must follow full BSA/AML rules, can freeze illicit funds onchain, and operate on public ledgers that are vastly more transparent than correspondent banking. Properly regulated stablecoins can actually enhance enforcement.
Innovation and Competition
The G30’s discomfort with stablecoins “competing on yield” reveals a protectionist instinct. Yield competition is normal across financial services — from rewards cards to fintech accounts. Prohibiting stablecoin issuers from similar practices would favor incumbents and stifle consumer benefit and innovation. As Coinbase notes, regulation’s role is to ensure safety, not to shield existing business models from disruption.
Central Bank Digital Currencies
The G30 sees CBDCs, especially wholesale versions, as essential to preserving the role of central banks in a tokenized financial system. It views them as tools to modernize settlement and maintain monetary “anchors” amid innovation. Yet this perspective remains state-centric, overlooking how regulated stablecoins and tokenized deposits already deliver similar benefits through market-driven models without requiring central banks to run retail payment systems.
A Need for Fresh Thinking
The G30’s report is thorough and cautious — but also emblematic of a mindset that views digital finance as an adjunct to the existing system, not as a new paradigm. The crypto economy is demonstrating, in real time, that programmable, auditable, and globally interoperable money is both feasible and desirable.
The Group of Thirty rightly celebrates the ingenuity of blockchain — yet its conclusions remain anchored in a worldview shaped by legacy institutions unwilling to rethink the foundations of money. Bitcoin and stablecoins are not threats to financial stability; they are living experiments in financial evolution, revealing just how constrained the traditional system has become by its own caution and bureaucracy.
What the report calls “risk” often reflects a fear of losing control, not an honest assessment of technological progress. The real danger lies not in digital assets, but in old thinking that refuses to evolve. The future of money will not be dictated by committees defending the past; it will be open, interoperable, and built onchain — by those willing to move faster than the institutions still debating whether it should exist.
