The test simulated transfers between Mitsubishi Corporation's domestic and overseas offices and examined the regulatory, operational and system requirements for implementing the service. Japan’s three major banking groups have completed a trial of a jointly issued yen stablecoin for cross-border payments, validating the issuance and redemption process and the feasibility of a shared banking framework, according to a Friday press release . The three lenders first unveiled plans in June to formalize a basic agreement and establish a council to coordinate the development of a fiat-pegged stablecoin targeted for fiscal 2026.
