TIS, a major payment infrastructure company in Japan, has introduced a blockchain-powered platform in collaboration with Ava Labs, the creators of

(AVAX). This initiative is designed to update financial transactions and address the rising need for stablecoins and tokenized assets. Named the Multi-Token Platform, it is developed with AvaCloud, Avalanche’s enterprise blockchain solution, and is intended to streamline the issuance, settlement, and oversight of digital assets in compliance with Japan’s Payment Services Act.

This collaboration highlights a shift in Japan, where established financial firms are turning to blockchain to strengthen existing frameworks rather than replace them. For instance, JPYC—the first officially regulated yen-backed stablecoin supported by bank deposits and government bonds—was launched this week, marking further progress for tokenized assets in the country, according to Yahoo Finance. John Nahas, Ava Labs’ chief business officer, told CoinDesk that the partnership demonstrates how traditional players are using blockchain to modernize their infrastructure.

TIS intends to join forces with banks, corporations, and government bodies to expand the platform’s reach worldwide. Isao Otokita, TIS’s managing executive officer, mentioned in a press release that the project will “work with a variety of partners to drive the global adoption and ecosystem growth of next-generation financial infrastructure originating from Japan,” as reported by CoinDesk. Nick Mussallem, CEO of AvaCloud, also noted that this initiative could serve as the foundation for Japan’s digital financial landscape, according to Yahoo Finance.

The debut of this platform comes as Japan’s financial industry increasingly adopts blockchain technology to boost efficiency and foster innovation. By leveraging Avalanche’s scalable network, TIS seeks to upgrade long-standing payment systems into programmable financial solutions, aiming to lead Japan’s digital economic transformation, CoinPedia reports.
