TechFlow News, May 29: According to NADA NEWS, on May 28, Japan Post Bank announced its medium-term management plan for fiscal years 2026–2028, stating that the issuance of the tokenized deposit “Yucho DCJPY” to depositors remains scheduled for fiscal year 2026, though no specific launch date has yet been disclosed.
The product will be launched on the DeCurret DCP platform, enabling depositors to convert portions of their deposits into Yucho DCJPY. It is also planned to integrate smart contracts to expand use cases—including automated payments, NFT-linked payments, and security token (ST) transactions. The bank further noted that tokenized deposits constitute a bank liability, making them relatively intuitive for customers to understand; their underlying safeguards are fundamentally comparable to those of cash.
