COINOTAG News reports that Four Pillars, a financial-technology firm, stated via social media that it intends to partner with Startale to issue a yen stablecoin in the second quarter of 2026. The announcement underscores a collaborative effort to advance stablecoin issuance within the Japanese yen framework, signaling a strategic expansion into digital asset infrastructure.

In this planned venture, the two firms are aligning on product development, risk controls, and compliance considerations to support credible adoption of a yen-stablecoin within existing market rails. If realized, the project could strengthen liquidity management and potential cross-border settlement workflows for institutions and fintech platforms operating in yen-denominated markets.

No further specifics were disclosed about the rollout, governance, or regulatory approvals. Stakeholders will watch for official confirmations and regulatory clarity as the project progresses toward a defined timeline.
