TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan Post Bank said it would launch a digital yen by the end of fiscal 2026 to make it more convenient for its depositors to make digital financial transactions.
The move by the postal giant, which holds roughly 190 trillion yen ($1.29 trillion) in deposits, highlights a growing wave of domestic entities tapping blockchain technology to streamline financial transactions.
