Japan is setting the pace for regulated stablecoins in Asia.
@RatioFX has signed an MOU with @jpyc_official, issuer of Japan's FSA-approved JPY stablecoin, to explore collaboration in stablecoin FX, cross-border payments, and digital asset infrastructure.
An initial step, and an important one. A regulated yen belongs at the center of Asia's settlement future.
Building the FX layer for Asian stablecoins, one market at a time.

High Volumes x High Friction = Opportunity
Asia as a region, offers unparalleled levels of opportunity for on-chain financial infrastructure and builders.
The legislation is coming, the liquidity is already there and distribution has never been more accessible.
Chief Stablecoin Officer at @KaiaChain says Asia has the biggest stablecoin opportunity.
His read: Asian lawmakers understand the geopolitics around the US dollar, and see stablecoins as a way to strengthen local currencies.

In Hong Kong Nov 1-4 🇭🇰
Tired of high fees and slow settlement moving money across Asia? At Ratio we make FX between local currencies cheaper and faster on stablecoin rails.
Would love to meet:
• Banks and PSPs
• Stablecoin issuers
• Exchanges
DMs open ☕
Hong Kong has become the hub for institutional stablecoin strategy in Asia.
@ImSmolpotato, our Head of BD, is at Hong Kong FinTech Week, November 2 to 6.
On his agenda: regional stablecoin use cases, cross-border payment rails, and meeting the institutions building both.
Building in the region? DMs are open. Larry will make time.

Hong Kong, Japan and Korea all shipped stablecoin news this week, and nearly every headline was a local currency stablecoin.
Here's the APAC week, and my take as someone building onchain FX between local currencies 🧵
Japan was first off the starting line on stablecoin regulation.
JPYC is the first licensed stablecoin there, and @RatioFX has an MOU with @jpyc_official.
@Iam_JohnCho, Ratio's founder & CEO, on the first use case: efficiency.
Stablecoin rails cutting costs in legacy flows.
John and @paulbarrontv also get into Circle, Tether and whether Japan is moving too slowly.

Myth: stablecoins are making money global.
Visa says its stablecoin settlement passed a $25B annual run rate, up 10x. Now look at what it settles in: USDC, USDG, EURC, PYUSD, SBC.
Four dollars and a euro. No yen, won or rupiah.
That's the gap we're building into at @RatioFX.

Most people outside web3 haven't tried onchain FX on stablecoin rails yet, let alone local ones. Once they do, the difference is real. That's what @RatioFX is building with @idrx_co: not just faster, cheaper FX, but a new way to settle cross-border, built for the age of agents.
Most of the liquidity. The most fragmented rails.
That's Asia right now, per @Iam_JohnCho, founder & CEO of @RatioFX.
His read on @paulbarrontv: the more friction a market has, the more opportunity it creates for the infrastructure underneath.
The full conversation with @paulbarrontv also covers China, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan.

We're here to help position @idrx_co as the one of the most liquid Asian stablecoins in the region.

Massive thanks to @nael_idrx for the shout-out. Without a doubt, @idrx_co is one of the fastest growing stablecoins today.
At @RatioFX, we work directly with issuers to accelerate adoption by unlocking cost optimzed liquidity and FX through our proprietary execution layer.

Picture an agent paying a supplier in Jakarta from a USD balance at 2am. Bank rails mean a login, a cutoff time, and an FX desk that's closed. Stablecoin rails mean a programmable wallet, 24/7 settlement, and onchain FX. Banks blocking agents just hands the cross-border use case to stablecoins.
This is exactly what we're building with the @idrx_co team.

銀行による預金のトークン化が進んでいます。
ステーブルコインに加え、銀行預金もオンチェーンで使われる時代に入ってきています。
しかし、国境を越えて利用するためには、異なる通貨を円滑に交換・決済できる仕組みが重要です。
例えば、円建てのステーブルコインを、米ドルやルピア建てのステーブルコインに交換し、支払いに使えるようにすること。
Kaiaエコシステムの @RatioFX は、アジアのステーブルコインの通貨交換とクロスボーダー決済を支える基盤を構築しており、既にKaiaチェーン上では、USDTとJPYC、インドネシアルピア建てステーブルコインなどを結ぶ交換ルートが稼働しています。
Kaiaは、こうしたエコシステムとの連携を通じて、円滑なクロスボーダー決済を実現できます。

Banks are putting deposits onchain. The question making the rounds: does this make USDT and USDC the AOLs of digital money?
@RatioFX CEO @Iam_JohnCho, in @Benzinga:
“If anything, the banks entering validate the category they created. The bigger development is multiple currencies and issuers coming onchain. That creates fragmented liquidity and a growing need for infrastructure connecting them.”
