Three major Japanese banks test cross-border stablecoin transfer platform
Three major Japanese banks, MUFG, SMBC, and Mizuho, are preparing to test a cross-border stablecoin transfer platform, aiming to provide faster international payment services for businesses.
According to the press release , the pilot project dubbed “Project Pax” will leverage stablecoins issued through Progmat, a blockchain startup backed by SBI Holdings and Japan Exchange Group.
Project Pax is run by Progmat, Datachain and TOKI to facilitate testing of cross-chain transactions.
The project will use SWIFT's existing API framework for banks to help Progmat process payments on the blockchain network, a process that could help address anti-money laundering and regulatory compliance challenges.
The project says:
“We aim to enable financial institutions to avoid operational redundancy when dealing with fiat transfers and minimize investment costs.”
“Project Pax” will start with a prototype and aims to commercialize the platform by 2025.
The research team Chia in a report that:
“By integrating legally compliant stablecoins and using open and secure cross-chain messaging standards, we can enable businesses to make cross-border payments at internet speeds.”
Progmat also established the stablecoin platform “Progmat Coin”.
“Many stablecoins issued using the Progmat Coin platform are Peg to major fiat currencies such as JPY, USD and EUR, allowing for flexible domestic and international use.”
Stablecoins are increasingly proving their power in cross-border remittances. That is why, although the crypto market is losing momentum, the stablecoin segment has not slowed down.
Stablecoin Capital reaches new ATH, surpassing the record of early 2022. Not to be missed, the giant PayPal also quickly built its own stablecoin, PYUSD, and has just surpassed the $1 billion Capital mark .
