■ SBI Holdings and Startale Group joined @openstandard and will explore a pilot connecting JPYSC with Open USD (OUSD). A first step toward yen–dollar settlement onchain and in real time.
■ Startale Japan launched the Startale Bond, Japan’s first digital corporate bond to pay both interest and principal redemption in a yen stablecoin. It puts JPYSC into a real corporate financing transaction, demonstrating how stablecoins can move capital through traditional financial instruments.
