Japan’s TIS Launches Avalanche-Based Multi-Token Blockchain Platform for $6T Payments Ecosystem

Japanese payment infrastructure leader TIS Inc. has launched a new Multi-Token Platform built on Avalanche's enterprise blockchain service, AvaCloud, aiming to digitize a significant portion of Japan's $6 trillion payments ecosystem through issuing and managing stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and digital securities. This platform supports banks, businesses, and government agencies, complying with Japan's Payment Services Act, and marks a major step in integrating blockchain for scalable, programmable finance and real-time payments in Japan. TIS processes over $2 trillion annually, and its choice of Avalanche reflects the blockchain's enterprise-grade scalability, speed, and security, emphasizing a strategic move beyond pilot projects to production-level infrastructure. Avalanche's smart contracts and decentralized exchange volumes have surged, demonstrating a maturing network transitioning from DeFi experimentation to enterprise financial systems. This development highlights Japan's broader effort to adopt blockchain technologies in mainstream financial infrastructure, further underscored by events like BITCOIN JAPAN 2025, which focus on Bitcoin's role in the country's financial future and innovation. Collectively, these initiatives position Japan as a pioneering hub for blockchain and digital asset adoption in Asia's financial sector.
