  • The result of this project can be potentially credited for changing the course of digital currencies in the banking systems.

This is breaking news in the Japanese financial market as the three biggest banks in Japan get set for a stablecoin transfer test. This step by the three Japanese banks, MUFG, SMBC, and Mizuho is a welcome idea for embracing blockchain as a mainstream asset in banking solutions. Thus, the focus of the memorandum is the testing of stablecoins for increasing the speed of transactions and cost reduction of cross-border settlements compared to traditional banking instruments.

MUFG: Pioneering Innovation in Japan’s Banking

The leading of this unique and progressive project is being done by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) which is the largest bank in Japan in terms of the total asset. As the world’s largest and most capitalized bank, MUFG will provide valuable experience to the stablecoin experiment. The participation of the bank therefore is an indication that it is willing to work with technology in the conduct of its business and to ensure that it is still benefiting from the best solutions for the management of business.

SMBC: Leveraging Technology for Enhanced Banking Solutions

The stablecoin project is being developed with the help of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), which prides itself on being ‘best known for customer service and one of the strongest corporate banks’ and is now using its technological capabilities for the new project. SMB’s involvement proves that the bank has a unique concern for extending its efforts toward enhancing the efficiency of financial services and international payments.

Mizuho: Driving Financial Inclusion through Digital Innovation

Taking into account the goal for enhancement of access and utilization of the financial services this entry fully aligns with Mizuho’s corporate strategy of expanding market reach with the help of technology and innovation.

These three giants in banking joining forces is a big plus in applying blockchain in Japan’s financial industry. These institutions hope that through experimenting with stablecoin transactions, they can overcome some of the major issues affecting cross-border transactions like the costs, time, and the exchange rate. It might be beneficial to cross-border transactions with the time it takes, the cost, and the risk incurred.
