Japan’s Card King Joins Crypto Chaos! 🚀

Behold, the audacious TIS Inc., Japan’s most formidable payments colossus, has donned a digital cape and leapt into the realm of tokenized finance, courtesy of Avalanche’s AvaCloud. A move so bold, it would make a parrot in a top hat weep with joy.

The platform, a veritable Swiss Army knife for stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and digital securities, is poised to revolutionize Japan’s institutional payments-assuming they can all agree on a common language (preferably one that doesn’t involve commas).

TIS: The Titan Of Transactions

With PayCierge’s annual B2C payments tallying a sum so vast it would make a goldfish faint, TIS is now eyeing the B2B and payroll realms with the determination of a man chasing a elusive wisp of dignity. If their forecasts hold, the figure might just surpass the population of a small island nation.

Not one to mince words, TIS handles nearly half of Japan’s credit card traffic and boasts a debit card empire that spans 80% of the country’s branded accounts. A feat so impressive, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack-only the haystack is a skyscraper, and the needle is a cryptocurrency.

Eleven of Japan’s 25 premier credit card issuers, collectively serving 200 million customers, have already embraced TIS’s systems. A ready-made audience, if ever there was one, for the new token platform’s grand debut.

This is a big deal.

The company that powers ~50% of Japan’s credit card payments, TIS, just deployed on Avalanche:

Why AvaCloud? Because Clouds Are Just Fancy Puddles

TIS, ever the pragmatist, chose AvaCloud to avoid the tedious task of building its own infrastructure. A decision as sensible as hiring a butler to pour your tea-without the awkward small talk.

AvaCloud, with its automated scaling and real-time governance, is described as the financial equivalent of a well-timed nap. Reliable, unobtrusive, and perfect for those who prefer their blockchains served with a side of convenience.

Avalanche’s lightning-fast finality and cross-chain tools have TIS dreaming of real-time, programmable settlements. A future where money moves faster than a gossip column in a scandal-ridden society.

Now, the Avalanche service will share the burden of cloud and node operations. A partnership as harmonious as a quartet of sopranos and a tuba.

Links To Yen Stablecoins And Reserve Models

JPYC, the first fully redeemable yen-backed stablecoin, claims to be backed by domestic deposits and Japanese government bonds (JGBs). A model so solid, it’s like building a house on a foundation of bricks-only the bricks are made of gold.

JPYC charges no transaction fees and earns revenue from JGB interest. A business plan so cunning, it would make a fox blush.

What This Could Mean For Banks And Corporates

Banks and corporations may soon run tokenized deposits or securities on TIS’s platform, provided they can decipher the cryptic rules of backing, custody, and redemption. A puzzle as perplexing as a riddle posed by a sentient teakettle.

While deployment has begun, broad adoption will take time. After all, even the most groundbreaking innovations require a bit of patience-and a willingness to ignore the occasional existential crisis.
