Digital Asset Wallets

On October 9, reports emerged that information about JPYC had been submitted to Japan's Fair Trade Commission, and discussion around domestic stablecoins quickly heated up. Because the development involves a regulatory authority, it went beyond a purely technical topic and drew broader public attention.

In parallel, at a summit held on October 1, HashPort Wallet was highlighted, with repeated references to its JPYC transfer function drawing attention to its central role in real-world use. Openloop, a domestic hardware wallet, continued to make headlines with business partnership news while emphasizing the reliability of its implementation. AndGo Wallet was reported to have completed a demonstration experiment aimed at financial institutions, raising expectations for corporate demand. SBI VC Trade was linked to a plan for a new company handling digital asset payments, strengthening its presence as transfer and payment infrastructure. Mynaウォレット was mentioned as a supplementary point in discussions of AI and on-chain finance, with its JPYC integration cited as an entry point to practical use. Meanwhile, Rakuten Wallet continued to be named as a candidate for individual users in comparisons of domestic exchanges, and MetaMask saw more mentions in practical scenarios such as receiving JPYC. Coincheck Web3 Wallet appeared as a related company name in infrastructure discussions, and bitbank continued to show strong name recognition in domestic service comparisons.

Overall, the day began with regulatory developments surrounding JPYC and saw practical-use topics such as remittances, payments, and corporate demonstration experiments spread across various wallets. A broad range of players, from domestic projects to the overseas-born MetaMask, came into view, reflecting how Japan's crypto asset wallet market is moving toward a phase driven by real demand.
