Japan Post Bank maintains its plan to issue the tokenized deposit “Yucho DCJPY” in fiscal year 2026.

According to NADA NEWS, Japan Post Bank stated on May 28 that its issuance of the tokenized deposit “Yucho DCJPY” for depositors remains scheduled for fiscal year 2026 as part of its medium-term management plan for FY2026–FY2028; however, the specific launch date has yet to be announced. The product will be launched on the DeCurret DCP platform, enabling depositors to convert a portion of their deposits into Yucho DCJPY. It is also planned to leverage smart contracts to expand use cases, including automated payments, NFT-linked payments, and security token (ST) transactions. The bank further noted that tokenized deposits are based on the bank’s liabilities, making them relatively easy for customers to understand, with their risk-protection logic essentially equivalent to that of cash.
