Japanese logistics company eyes JPYC stablecoin to pay drivers
Latest News
Published
Jul 20, 2026
The planned rollout would let thousands of transportation contractors receive digital yen payments more frequently and quickly.
AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings, a major Japanese logistics company, plans to adopt the JPYC stablecoin to make payments to around 2,300 business partners, in what is expected to be the first
large-scale corporate use
of the yen-denominated JPYC stablecoin in Japan.
According to a
report
from Nikkei, the stablecoin will be used to pay fees and compensation to individual contractors who handle transportation, including truck drivers, while the use of the stablecoin will allow faster and more frequent payments, as it does not charge transfer fees.
AZ-COM Maruwa is also considering a partnership with JPYC and an investment of over 1 billion Japanese yen ($6.2 million).
