USDC payments are live in Tokyo, Japan.
This marks the first real in-store @USDC payment on @Base in East Asia.
Feb 24–Mar 2 at Pangaea Cafe in Shibuya, in collaboration with MynaWallet, Digital Garage (PG), and JCB (card network). Customers scan a QR code in the @BaseApp to pay USDC on Base, while merchants settle directly in JPY.
@MynaWallet is Base Japan’s flagship project and a Base Batches 002 finalist, with native KYC integration via Japan’s My Number Card.
Base is accelerating global money movement across 32 countries with 16 compliant stablecoins. When stablecoins settle locally in real time, payments stop being foreign — they become native infrastructure.
