🇯🇵 Metaplanet has just announced a joint research initiative with JPYC and Progmat to introduce Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenized assets into Japan’s credit market. The goal is to build a system where businesses can issue digital bonds, investors can settle payments using stablecoins, and Bitcoin can serve as collateral or a foundation for financial products. This is not yet an official product but remains in the research phase; however, it demonstrates Metaplanet’s ambition to become more than just a Bitcoin holding company—they are aiming to build an entire financial ecosystem centered around Bitcoin.
