TIS launches blockchain platform for stablecoin issuance in Japan
Japan’s leading payments firm TIS has officially launched a blockchain-based platform designed to enable the issuance and management of stablecoins and other tokenized assets. The initiative, announced on October 28, 2025, represents a significant milestone in Japan’s growing adoption of blockchain technology for regulated digital finance. Known as the Multi-Token Platform, the system was developed in partnership with Ava Labs and operates on Avalanche’s AvaCloud infrastructure.
Regulated framework for stablecoin innovation
The launch of TIS’s Multi-Token Platform comes at a time when Japan’s revised stablecoin legislation is fostering greater institutional participation in blockchain-based finance. Under the new framework, banks and licensed companies can issue fiat-backed stablecoins while maintaining compliance with financial regulations and consumer protection standards. TIS’s platform provides these institutions with secure tools for token issuance, on-chain settlement, and asset management, ensuring that each step aligns with the country’s regulatory requirements.
The platform utilizes Avalanche’s AvaCloud technology to deliver low-latency, high-throughput blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting large-scale financial applications. Its modular architecture allows for the creation and circulation of multiple digital assets, including yen-backed stablecoins, tokenized securities, and corporate reward tokens. This flexibility positions the Multi-Token Platform as a central component of Japan’s digital asset ecosystem, offering interoperability and scalability for both private and public sector participants.
Driving Japan’s digital finance transformation
TIS’s move aligns with the Japanese government’s ongoing efforts to digitize its financial system and support the development of secure, blockchain-based settlement networks. The Multi-Token Platform aims to streamline back-office operations, enhance transaction transparency, and lower the overall cost of digital asset management for institutions. It also addresses one of the key challenges in Japan’s fintech sector—interoperability—by providing a unified framework for integrating blockchain-based payment and settlement systems.
According to Ava Labs, the collaboration demonstrates how traditional financial infrastructure can transition toward compliance-ready blockchain systems without compromising on performance or security. The partnership between TIS and Ava Labs underscores Japan’s strategic focus on balancing innovation with regulation, ensuring that new digital asset products operate within established legal boundaries.
Industry observers note that this launch could accelerate the entry of other financial institutions into Japan’s blockchain space, potentially sparking competition in the issuance of regulated stablecoins. As global demand for digital currencies continues to rise, Japan’s proactive regulatory environment positions it as a potential leader in Asia’s blockchain finance landscape.
With its emphasis on speed, compliance, and institutional accessibility, TIS’s Multi-Token Platform sets a precedent for how financial technology companies can bridge traditional banking systems with blockchain innovation. The partnership with Ava Labs signals a broader trend toward collaboration between established financial service providers and blockchain developers, marking a pivotal moment in Japan’s transition toward a tokenized economy.
