SBI Shinsei Bank joins the JPMorgan network for the issuance of the digital currency DCJPY for corporate clients.

SBI Shinsei Bank will issue the digital currency DCJPY for corporate clients in 2026, becoming the first Japanese bank to participate in the Partior blockchain network developed by JPMorgan Chase. The goal is to shorten the international remittance time from several days to just a few minutes at a much lower cost compared to the traditional SWIFT system.

DCJPY, developed by DeCurret DCP, is backed at a 1:1 ratio with the Japanese yen, differing from stablecoins due to its fixed value and being closely monitored under the amended Payment Services Act. Customers can easily convert deposits to DCJPY and withdraw them as cash.

Japan Post Bank, the organization holding the largest amount of deposits in Japan, is also expected to adopt DCJPY from 2026, significantly expanding the digital yen ecosystem. At the same time, SBI Holdings is ramping up its strategy for tokenizing securities and distributing stablecoins, asserting Japan's position in the global digital finance.
