Japan Post Bank will join the DCJPY tokenized asset network in fiscal year 2026, according to Nikkei.
The initiative will allow the bank's 120 million account holders to convert their deposits into DCJPY tokens, which can be exchanged for yen and are issued on an authorized network managed by DeCurret DCP.
The main application will be the near-instant settlement of tokenized securities, a process that currently takes days.
The bank, which has Japan's largest retail deposit base, said the move is part of a strategy to digitize operations and attract younger users.
This development comes alongside a series of broader regulatory initiatives in Japan to approve national stablecoins and review cryptocurrency taxation.
