Japan Post Bank Set to Launch DCJPY Digital Currency in 2026

Japan Post Bank is preparing for the launch of its new digital currency, DCJPY, slated for fiscal year 2026. This tokenized offering will be pegged to the Japanese yen and aims to significantly tokenize deposits, a move poised to disrupt Japan’s financial landscape. The initiative, spearheaded by Japan Post Bank in collaboration with DeCurret DCP, leverages a secure permissioned blockchain. This marks a pivotal shift for Japan’s traditionally conservative banking sector as it embraces innovative financial solutions.
