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 February 2026, JPYC Inc. raised JPY 1. 78 billion in series B funding led by new investor Asteria Corporation with participation from other new investors QR Investment, JR West Innovations, Gazelle Capital, Chugin Capital Partners, TNBI, Tm Capital, Inc, Heroz, Inc. , bitFlyer Holdings, fundnote, FINOLAB, Global Brain and Ryobi AlgoTech Capital.
Some unspecified investors also participated in this round. 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 organization plans to use the February 2026 funds to expand the stablecoin ecosystem across the financial and Web3 sectors and accelerate the real‑world adoption of money transfer stablecoins.
