SBI VC Trade's JPYSC lending balance surpasses 10 billion yen

SBI VC Trade announced that lending balances for JPYSC, its Japanese yen-backed stablecoin, have surpassed ¥10 billion (roughly $65-70 million), marking a milestone for yen-denominated crypto lending in Japan. The JPYSC lending service lets users post the stablecoin as collateral... wait, actually let me reconsider the mechanics before finalizing. Let me draft this properly. SBI VC Trade, the crypto arm of Japanese financial giant SBI Group, said lending balances for JPYSC — its Japanese yen-backed stablecoin — have exceeded ¥10 billion, a milestone for yen-denominated on-chain lending in Japan. The service, launched in 2025 on SBI VC Trade's platform, allows users to lend out JPYSC and earn yield, with demand apparently driven by institutional and high-net-worth participants seeking yen yield within regulated channels. The ¥10 billion figure matters because it signals meaningful traction for Japan's stablecoin framework under the revised Payment Services Act, positioning SBI against rivals like Mitsubishi UFJ's Progmat-based issuers and global dollar stablecoins. Watch next: whether balances continue compounding toward ¥50 billion, expansion of supported chains and use cases, and any interest-rate or incentive changes that could accelerate or slow inflows.
