Singapore also introduced a stablecoin framework in 2024 and, at the same time, promoted tokenised deposit trials under Project Guardian. Talking about other countries, Japan also witnessed its first Japanese-yen-pegged stablecoin, JPYC, rolled out towards the end of 2025, while three major banks, MUFG, SMBG, and Mizuho, kicked off joint pilots last year for stablecoins in corporate payments.
