- Earlier fund-transfer-type stablecoins in Japan were subject to a 1 million yen ceiling on both transactions and balances, a constraint that rendered them useful for retail payments and little else.
- JPYSC removes this ceiling, opening the door to institutional-scale on-chain settlement, tokenized RWA transactions, and cross-border FX use cases that the prior generation of Japanese stablecoins structurally could not support.
