JCB, the biggest credit card issuer in Japan, has partnered with TECHFUND, a technology accelerator, to build a sustainable transaction system on the blockchain.
On May 15, it has been reported that the partnership will utilize TECHFUND’s expertise on security token offerings (STOs) and staking to create a new platform for transactions.
Also based in Tokyo, TECHFUND has a program called ACCEL BaaS (Blockchain as a Service), which aims to accelerate the adoption of blockchain technologies for startups and enterprises.
