Japan’s FSA to Approve First Yen-Denominated Stablecoin, JPYC, This Autumn
Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is set to approve the issuance of the country’s first yen-denominated stablecoin, JPYC, this autumn, with the fintech firm JPYC based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, expected to be registered as a funds transfer service by the end of August.
The stablecoin will be pegged at 1 JPYC = 1 JPY and backed by liquid assets such as bank deposits and government bonds. Aiming to facilitate international remittances and corporate payments, JPYC plans to issue ¥1 trillion over the next three years. The approval aligns with a regulatory framework established under the revised Payment Services Act, which distinguishes stablecoins from cryptocurrencies and allows licensed operators to issue them. JPYC’s representative, Noritaka Okabe, indicated that the stablecoin could significantly impact the Japanese government bond market by increasing demand.

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…

However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction. “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
