GMO internet group is all set to launch a Yen pegged stablecoin called the GMO Japanese Yen (GJY) by 2019. The GJY will look to penetrate the Asian market through Z.com.

Z.com is the Cryptocurrency exchange subsidiary which was launched by GMO to penetrate the Cryptocurrency industry.

GMO already has two businesses in Crypto space, the exchange business which started in May last year and the mining hardware business which started in December. Now, the company plans to launch its third crypto enterprise with its stablecoin to support borderless Cryptocurrency transactions.

According to GMO founder and President Masatoshi Kumagai, stablecoin can be a solution to the problem of hyperinflation which is seen in many developing countries. Stablecoin is a currency to replace low credit and unreliable domestic currencies. Even in developed countries stablecoin have a potential to become a global standard innovative financial infrastructure. Yen-pegged currency backed by the Japanese yen has high potential to be an ideal currency with high reliability as well as low remittance fee and fast transaction speed which are distinct advantages of Cryptocurrencies.

GMO is also interested in bridging the gap of international remittances through its financial corporations in Japan. This can be done as there are banks and trust licenses in Japan, so GJY can be issued in Asia, but can be stored in Japan as well.
