Blackrock, SBI Holdings, and Startale Group signed a memorandum of understanding to explore integrating tokenized money market funds with JPYSC, a yen stablecoin backed by Japan's trust bank. This initiative aims to enable 24/7 onchain finance, allowing seamless movement between yen and yield-bearing funds without banking hour restrictions. The collaboration will focus on technology, business, and regulatory aspects but has no set launch date yet. SBI's existing ties with Ripple, which distributes a dollar stablecoin RLUSD in Japan, position it centrally in Japan's growing stablecoin ecosystem.
