Japanese Digital Bank Minna Bank Launches Stablecoin Research Initiative
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Japan's first digital bank, Minna Bank, has announced a joint research initiative in collaboration with Fireblocks, Solana Japan, and TIS.

The initiative will also study how Web3 wallets can enhance the user payment experience.
