SBI Strengthens Japan’s Stablecoin Ecosystem

[lingriiddd]

SBI Holdings continues its stablecoin expansion, joining forces with Startale to launch a regulated digital yen. Previously, SBI integrated USDC into its exchange and will host Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin in 2026. The yen stablecoin will be issued by a trust bank and circulate via licensed exchange SBI VC Trade, supporting Japan’s growing crypto infrastructure.
