Tokyo has started investing money to develop a Japanese yen stablecoin, with a cap of 40 million yen and a subsidy ratio of 2/3. This is quite a significant move.

40 million yen sounds like a lot, but when converted to USD, it's only about $260k. Not enough for big projects.

Anti-money laundering and user protection have become key evaluation points; it seems Japan has learned its lesson.

Subsidy 2/3, the company's actual burden drops to 1/3, and the leverage effect is obvious

Focus on incident response; Japanese regulation still follows the same risk-prioritization logic.

Social significance + advanced features + feasibility—these evaluation criteria are very Web3.

Up to 40 million, enough for a small team to tinker for a year. Envious.
