[Japan's Lawson Plans to Pilot JPYC Stablecoin Payments in August, Marking the Country's First POS-Integrated Stablecoin Test] (According to Bitcoin.com) Japanese convenience store giant Lawson plans to pilot JPYC stablecoin payments at a Tokyo store in early August. Payments will be completed by scanning with a smartphone e-wallet. This trial marks Japan's first stablecoin payment test directly integrated with a POS system. Hashport will provide wallet technical support, and stablecoin payment data will be directly connected to Lawson's existing store management system, allowing for the recording of product quantities, payment times, and transaction details. Lawson will evaluate the stability of POS integration before deciding whether to expand the rollout. JPYC has already been adopted in some restaurants and dental clinics, and Japan's three major banks are conducting stablecoin pilots with the Financial Services Agency. Citigroup predicts the global stablecoin market could reach $1.9 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030.
