Startale Group and SBI Holdings signed an MOU on December 16, 2025, to launch a regulated Japanese yen stablecoin by Q2 2026. The stablecoin will be a Type 3 Electronic Payment Instrument, allowing transfers and balances above the ¥1 million limit. Startale will provide blockchain technology and security, while SBI will handle compliance through its trust bank and exchange. The project aims to support domestic and cross-border payments, tokenized assets, and AI-based finance under Japan’s updated payment laws.
