随着 Netstars 推出支持 USDC、USDT 和 JPYC 的商业服务,Lawson 将在东京测试日元稳定币支付。 日本便利店运营商 Lawson 计划于 8 月在东京一家门店测试以日元计价的稳定币支付,研究稳定币支付是否可以在标准便利店结账流程中使用。 周一,区块链公司 HashPort 表示已与 Lawson 和电信集团 KDDI 签署协议,将在 Lawson Takanawa Gateway City 商店进行试验。参与者将使用 HashPort 的非托管钱包,而商店将通过该公司的销售点系统处理付款,无需打开或管理加密钱包。 该试点项目旨在探索如何将稳定币支付整合到日本现有的零售基础设施中,同时使商家免受与接受数字资产相关的操作复杂性的影响。 两家公司计划在考虑更广泛的应用之前评估集成要求、结账操作、支付处理时间和钱包可用性。
Netstars推出多稳定币商家服务 另外,日本支付公司 Netstars 于周一推出了 Stablecoin Pay,向寻求接受多种稳定币作为支付选项的商家开放申请。 该服务最初通过 Solana 和 Polygon 网络支持 USDC、USDT 和以日元计价的 JPYC,并支持 MetaMask 钱包。 Netstars 将商户支付费用设定为 0.98%,并表示计划添加更多钱包和区块链。 通过该服务,商家在大多数情况下都可以使用现有的支付终端,并以日元处理产品定价、销售记录和结算,即使客户使用以美元计价的稳定币支付也是如此。 Netstars 表示,这消除了持有加密货币或管理汇率的需要。 此次商业发布是在 Netstars 于 1 月至 2 月在东京羽田机场以及从 4 月起在姬路的一家交易卡商店进行涉及 USDC 支付的试验之后进行的。 相关:日本银行推出高达 620 万美元的比特币支持贷款
随着日本公司围绕该国受监管的稳定币市场打造更多面向消费者的产品,从有限的试点转向面向商家的服务。 2023 年 6 月 1 日,日本在《支付服务法》及相关法律修正案生效时推出了专门的稳定币框架。 这些规则为与法定挂钩的稳定币创建了监管类别,并要求作为中介机构的企业向金融服务局注册。 该框架随后于 2025 年 3 月获得监管部门批准 USDC 分配,并于 8 月 JPYC 注册为资金转账服务提供商,随后于 10 月推出稳定币。 杂志:比特币在这个周期已经触底了吗?分析师表示“还没有”
Lawson will test yen stablecoin payments in Tokyo as Netstars launches a merchant service supporting USDC, USDT and JPYC.
Japanese convenience-store operator Lawson plans to test yen-denominated stablecoin payments at a Tokyo location in August, examining whether stablecoin payments can work inside a standard convenience store checkout flow.
On Monday, blockchain company HashPort said it had signed an agreement with Lawson and telecom group KDDI to conduct the trial at the Lawson Takanawa Gateway City store. Participants will use HashPort's non-custodial wallet, while the store will process payments through the company's point-of-sale system without needing to open or manage crypto wallets.
The pilot aims to explore how stablecoin payments can be integrated into Japan’s existing retail infrastructure while shielding merchants from much of the operational complexity associated with accepting digital assets.
The companies plan to assess integration requirements, checkout operations, payment processing times and wallet usability before considering broader applications.
Netstars launches multi-stablecoin merchant service
Separately, Japanese payments company Netstars launched Stablecoin Pay on Monday, opening applications from merchants seeking to accept multiple stablecoins as payment options.
The service initially supports USDC, USDT and the yen-denominated JPYC through the Solana and Polygon networks, with MetaMask as the supported wallet. Netstars set the merchant payment fee at 0.98% and said it plans to add more wallets and blockchains.
With the service, merchants can use existing payment terminals in most cases and handle product pricing, sales records and settlement in yen, even when customers pay with dollar-denominated stablecoins. Netstars said this removes the need to hold crypto or manage exchange rates.
The commercial launch follows Netstars trials involving USDC payments at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport from January to February and at a trading-card store in Himeji from April.

The move from limited pilots to a merchant-facing service comes as Japanese companies build more consumer-facing products around the country’s regulated stablecoin market. On June 1, 2023, Japan introduced a dedicated framework for stablecoins when amendments to the Payment Services Act and related laws took effect.
The rules created regulatory categories for fiat-linked stablecoins and require businesses acting as intermediaries to register with the Financial Services Agency.
The framework was followed by regulatory approval for USDC distribution in March 2025 and by JPYC’s registration as a fund transfer service provider that August, before the stablecoin was launched in October.
