Logistics Giant AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings Adopts JPYC Stablecoin for Payments

AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings, a Japanese logistics giant, is set to introduce JPYC stablecoin for payments to its 2,300 partner carriers and independent drivers. This move marks one of the largest corporate rollouts of JPYC in Japan.

The company plans to invest ¥1 billion in JPYC while forming a business partnership directly with the stablecoin issuer. This investment ties the logistics group to JPYC's growth, as it will be used for routine business payments across its broad network of transport partners.

JPYC began issuing its regulated yen-backed stablecoin on October 27, 2025, maintaining a one-to-one link with the yen and using bank deposits and Japanese government bonds as reserve assets. It operates on public blockchain networks and can be issued or redeemed through JPYC EX.
