Cross-chain infrastructure of “progmacoin”
Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation announced on the 2nd that it will partner with Datachain Co., Ltd. and TOKI FZCO to build a cross-chain infrastructure for stablecoins.
Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking is leading the development of the stablecoin issuance management platform “Progmat Coin”. The cross-chain infrastructure announced this time is for stablecoins that use “progmacoins”.
On June 1st, the revised Fund Settlement Act came into force, allowing the issuance of stablecoins backed by legal tender in Japan.
In response to this, as soon as the intermediary obtains the necessary license, it is expected that stablecoins will be able to be issued and distributed on various public blockchains using “Plogmacoin” in the future.
Target public blockchains include Ethereum (ETH), Cosmos (ATOM), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC). We plan to expand to other blockchains in the future.
connection: The revised Payment Services Act that came into effect on June 1 will enable the issuance of domestic stablecoins, which will also benefit multinational companies.
