JPYC to List on South Korea's Upbit — Okabe: 'Huge Potential'

• JPYC (Ethereum version only) and PYUSD begin trading on Upbit on September 17, both listed against KRW, BTC, and USDT markets; deposits/withdrawals support only the Ethereum network.
• PYUSD trading starts at 12:00 JST and JPYC at 18:00 JST (pushed back from an originally planned 12:00 start, via 15:00).
• JPYC Inc. CEO Noritaka Okabe called the listing a source of 'huge potential' since overseas exchanges aren't subject to Japan's 1,000,000 yen per-transaction issuance/redemption cap, and hopes it spurs reconsideration of that domestic limit (revised in May 2026 from a daily to a per-transaction cap).
