Japan's logistics group AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings plans to adopt the yen-pegged stablecoin JPYC to pay transport commission fees to approximately 2,300 partner transport companies and some individual drivers. The move is intended to shorten settlement times, reduce transfer costs, and increase payment frequency.
The payments fall under business-to-business or business-to-individual operator settlements. The project is still in the implementation planning stage, with specific launch dates and usage rules yet to be announced. The company is also considering a business partnership with the JPYC issuer and has allocated approximately 1 billion yen (around $6.7 million) for investment.
