AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings, a Japanese logistics company, plans to use the yen-backed JPYC stablecoin to pay about 2,300 business partners, including truck drivers. This move aims to speed up payments and increase frequency by eliminating transfer fees associated with traditional bank transfers.

AZ-COM Maruwa is also considering a partnership and significant investment with JPYC Inc., potentially marking one of Japan's first large-scale corporate uses of a yen-denominated stablecoin.
