The post Metaplanet announces join study to bring BTC-powered digital credit to Japan appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
“The four companies will examine issues in product design, the need for proof-of-concept initiatives, and the possibility of future issuance,” Metaplanet said in a statement. “At this time, nothing has been determined regarding issuance timing, terms, yield, product details, distribution methods, or the form of collaboration.” Japan’s traditional credit market leans in favor of large corporations with public bond offerings. Mid-sized and growth companies often face high costs and operational burdens around issuance, sales, investor management, interest payments and redemptions, according to Metaplanet. Digital credit could open the debt market to these smaller companies, bridging traditional capital markets with onchain technology, enabling 24/7 global trading and settlement, holder-level rights management, automated pro-rata interest calculations and transparent o
The post Japan’s ‘invest locally’ plan likely to spur demand for assets like bitcoin (BTC), gold: Crypto Daily appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
This hidden form of taxation, first used by nations after World War II, allows authorities to finance deficits cheaply, gradually erode the real value of the debt burden through moderate inflation, and avoid the relatively damaging alternatives of outright default or severe austerity. (Other indebted nations like the U.S., U.K. and European countries may do the same soon enough.) Such an environment creates a strong incentive to seek assets with limited supply that may preserve purchasing power, such as bitcoin and gold. BTC has already proved its mettle: Housing prices measured in bitcoin look far cheaper than in dollars. But there’s a near-term risk worth noting. The GPIF holds $931 billion in foreign assets, including $232.1 billion in U.S. Treasuries. A slight diversion of capital to local assets may create jitters on Wall Street, pote
The post Metaplanet and partners open joint study into Bitcoin-backed digital credit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Metaplanet (TYO: 3350), Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has started a joint study with three partners into Bitcoin-backed credit instruments. The Bitcoin treasury company made this known via its X account, releasing a “Notice of Commencement of a Joint Study in the Digital Credit Domain Utilizing $BTC, $JPYC, and Security Tokens.” The study groups Metaplanet with its brokerage arm Metaplanet Securities, yen-stablecoin issuer JPYC, and digital securities platform Progmat. Progmat published its own release on the collaboration the same day. The four entities are examining how Bitcoin (BTC), the JPYC stablecoin, and security tokens could combine into a blockchain-based system for issuing and managing credit products such as corporate bonds. What would the study model do? Each asset plays a unique role in the proposed structure, with Bitcoin sitting as colla

Metaplanet has started a joint study into Bitcoin-backed digital credit products with stablecoin issuer JPYC, tokenization company Progmat and its securities arm in Japan. Summary Metaplanet will study Bitcoin-backed credit using JPYC settlement and Progmat’s security token infrastructure in Japan. No product has launched, while issuance timing, yields, terms, and distribution methods remain undecided. Project Nova seeks to turn Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury into collateral for regulated digital credit products. The study will assess whether Bitcoin can support digital corporate bonds and other credit products as collateral or a credit-enhancement asset. However, the companies said they have not decided to issue any product. Metaplanet studies Bitcoin-backed digital credit According to Metaplanet’s July 10 announcement, the four companies will study product design, regulation, investor p
The post Japan’s CRYL Offers Bitcoin-Backed Loans of Up to $6.2M appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Japanese lender CRYL has launched Bitcoin-backed loans of up to 1 billion yen ($6.2 million), allowing individuals and businesses to raise fiat currency without selling their BTC. On Thursday, the company announced that borrowers can access between 1 million yen ($6,200) and 1 billion yen ($6.2 million) at annual rates of 3.5% to 7%. The loans carry collateral ratios of 40% to 60%. They run for one year and can be used for expenses, including taxes, business funding and property purchases. The launch expands Japan’s small market for regulated crypto-backed financing. In 2020, Fintertech, a Daiwa Securities Group and Credit Saison joint venture, launched a similar service and currently lends up to $3 million against Bitcoin or Ether. However, CRYL’s service advertises a higher ceiling and a lower minimum, while limiting collateral to BTC. CRYL framed the service as adding a third opti

The post Will BTC Skyrocket to the Moon as SpaceX Tests Transfers? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
SpaceX moved less than $300 worth of Bitcoin across internal wallets without sending funds to exchanges. SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC, while Strategy continues using Bitcoin as its core treasury asset. Retail traders are monitoring institutional wallet activity for signs of future market moves. SpaceX’s first Bitcoin wallet activity in about six months has drawn attention from crypto market participants. Still, the transfers do not currently indicate a major change in the company’s Bitcoin strategy. On-chain data showed that the aerospace company moved small amounts of BTC between wallets shortly after becoming publicly traded. Notably, the activity comes as investors compare SpaceX’s Bitcoin holdings with Strategy’s more active treasury approach, where Bitcoin serves as the foundation of its corporate balance sheet.

The post Euro slips as soft Eurozone inflation, Japan pension shift lift Yen appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
EUR/JPY trades around 184.95 on Friday at the time of writing, down 0.35% on the day, as the Japanese Yen (JPY) benefits from renewed demand following the government’s announcement of a potential shift toward greater domestic investment. At the same time, confirmed signs of easing inflation in Germany and France continue to weigh on the Euro (EUR). Final data released on Friday confirmed that inflationary pressures continue to moderate across the Eurozone. In Germany, the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) rose 2.4% YoY in June, down from 2.7% in May, while monthly prices declined by 0.2%. In France, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) also slowed to 2% YoY from 2.8% in May, with prices falling 0.3% on a monthly basis. These figures reinforce expectations that the European Central Bank (ECB) will leave interest rates unchanged at its July meeting as policymakers assess d
