Asteria Corporation (Japan)
Tokyo — August 21, 2025 — Asteria Corporation (Head Office: Tokyo, Japan; CEO HIRANO (Pina) Yoichiro; Tokyo Stock Exchange listed, Security Code: 3853, hereinafter “Asteria”) is pleased to announce the development of a new ASTERIA Warp (hereinafter “Warp”) exclusive “JPYC adapter”. This will enable the no-code integration of payment data for the yen-backed stablecoin*1 “JPYC”, issued by JPYC Inc. (Head Office: Tokyo, Japan; Representative Director OKABE Noritaka).
Background & Value of the New JPYC Adapter
US dollar-pegged USDT (Tether) and USDC (Circle) have been leading and widely circulated in the stablecoin market, with a market size of over 250 billion dollars*2. In addition, the United States passed the GENIUS Act*3 targeting stablecoins in July 2025, and are currently working on establishing regulations. USDC issuer Circle also listed on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2025, further accelerating the adoption of stablecoins.
On August 18, 2025, JPYC Inc. was officially registered as a “funds transfer service provider” (Registration No. Kanto Local Finance Bureau 00099) pursuant to Article 37 of the Payment Services Act. Now the first of their kind authorized to issue electronic payment instruments (stablecoins) pegged 1:1 to the Japanese yen, JPYC Inc. plans to issue the yen-backed stablecoin “JPYC” from Autumn 2025.
The new JPYC adapter will be fully redeveloped from the 2022 version to support updated specifications. By enabling the no-code, direct transfer of yen-backed JPYC stablecoin tokens to enterprise financial accounting systems, core systems and cloud services, it empowers Warp users to create systems such as automating and accelerating fund transfers for their businesses. Asteria will continue to foster the adoption of stablecoins among general companies through Warp, which has been adopted by over 10,000 companies. With expected improvements in the digital currency landscape, Asteria anticipates it being used not only for inter-company fund transfers but also for e-commerce transactions and salary payments in the future.
Future Plans
Asteria will continue to work with JPYC Inc. and the Blockchain Collaborative Consortium’s (BCCC) “Stablecoin Promotion Committee” to advance the adoption of yen-backed stablecoins among companies.
Stakeholder Comment
JPYC Inc. was founded on the mission of “breaking through social dilemmas”. We believe that using stablecoins in the real world can improve the flow of funds, which serve as the backbone of the Japanese economy, to solve various social issues. By integrating ASTERIA Warp, widely used by companies, and the yen-backed stablecoin “JPYC”, we aim to enable more efficient fund transfers across diverse scenarios, contributing to the continued growth of the Japanese economy.
