Minna Bank, one of Japan's leading banks in digital transformation, has launched a joint research with Solana, Fireblocks and TIS to examine how stablecoin technology could revolutionize consumer finance.
The collaboration, announced by the bank, aims to evaluate how digital wallets and blockchain-based financial solutions can be adapted for Japan's mobile-first user base.
Minna Bank, a fully digital bank affiliated with Fukuoka Financial Group, said in a statement that the research will focus on areas such as payment systems, on-chain banking infrastructure and user experience. The initiative comes at a time when banks are accelerating their efforts to modernize cross-border payments, deposits and settlement processes, with the market value of stablecoins exceeding $250 billion.
Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov said that this project could create new efficiencies in value transfer processes in the digital economy. Minna Bank's client base is predominantly comprised of individuals between the ages of 15-39 who are not adequately served by traditional banking systems. This makes the bank an ideal testing ground for stablecoin-based solutions.
