AZ-Com Maruwa Holdings, a logistics company that supplies Amazon Japan, plans to adopt the yen-linked stablecoin JPYC for payments. The move would mark a major step for digital currency use in everyday business transactions in Japan.
According to the report, the company intends to use JPYC to pay around 2,300 partners. That group includes truck drivers and other logistics-related counterparties, making the initiative notable for its scale and for its focus on operational payments rather than a limited pilot.
The rollout is being described as Japan’s first large-scale corporate stablecoin payment deployment. If carried out as planned, it would show how a yen-based stablecoin could be used in supply chain and transport networks where fast and flexible settlement can matter.
The plan also highlights growing interest in stablecoins as a practical payment tool beyond crypto trading. For Japan’s logistics sector, the adoption of JPYC by a large supplier could become an early test of how digital yen-pegged tokens fit into business payment workflows.
