AZ-COM Maruwa plans JPYC payments for 2,300 logistics partners in Japan

Japanese logistics group AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings plans to adopt the yen-pegged stablecoin JPYC for payments to roughly 2,300 partner carriers and independent drivers, according to Techub, citing crypto.news. The company also plans to invest 1 billion yen to form a business partnership with the token’s issuer. JPYC is set to begin issuance in October 2025 and is designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the Japanese yen. The move would extend the stablecoin’s use from retail pilots into routine business payments. Techub said Lawson convenience stores and LINE NEXT have previously tested, or said they planned to support, payment use cases involving JPYC.
