About
Founded in 2019 and based in Tokyo, Japan, JPYC Inc. , d. b. a JPYC issues digital coins for business use, offering the purchase and sale of Japanese yen, BTC, and ETH through an ICB prepaid payment method.
In May 2026, JPYC raised an undisclosed amount in series B funding from Iyogin Capital and Global Brain, with participation from Ignition Point Venture Partners and Awagin Capital. This round was part of a larger JPY 5 billion series B funding. The company specializes in issuing JPYC, which is a stablecoin pegged to the Japanese yen. The stablecoin enables users to purchase NFTs and exchange crypto assets for real-world goods.
JPYC offers a payment solution that does not require blockchain-related development for merchants. The company’s approach allows for integration into existing payment systems without the need for specialized wallet management. The company plans to use the May 2026 funding to scale ecosystem development, technology infrastructure, and commercial adoption of its stable coin.
