JPYC has secured 6 billion yen ($38 million) in an extended Series B funding round to grow its yen-backed stablecoin ecosystem and Web3 financial services. The round includes a 1 billion yen investment from AZ-COM Maruwa, which plans to use JPYC for payments to over 2,300 partners, aiming for faster, fee-free settlements. JPYC is also piloting stablecoin payments with Lawson convenience stores, reflecting growing adoption of regulated digital payments in Japan. This funding supports JPYC's expansion amid increasing interest from financial institutions and companies in blockchain-based payment solutions.
