Japan-based e-commerce and internet company DMM Group announced a collaboration with digital asset platform Progmat to conduct a joint study on issuing a new stablecoin. This initiative aligns with the regulations introduced by the Japanese parliament in June 2023.

The consortium intends to mint stablecoins on the Progmat Coin platform, designed for the issuance and management of stablecoins in compliance with Japanese laws.

Progmat is a startup focused on developing digital asset infrastructures aimed at transforming the financial system. It provides a platform for issuing and managing tokenized securities, stablecoins, and utility tokens, while actively seeking partnerships to promote the global adoption of digital assets.

DMM Crypto, a subsidiary of DMM Group, plans to integrate the stablecoin into the Seamoon Protocol, an interoperable Web3 network centered on Japanese culture and entertainment. This network will feature DMM Group’s extensive catalog of video games, anime, movies, TV shows, and online streaming content.

The stablecoin is designed to function as a reserve currency, supporting the project’s treasury pool and price stabilization mechanism for SMP—a forthcoming cryptocurrency intended to be the primary payment method within Seamoon Protocol and across DMM’s broader portfolio. Additionally, Seamoon Protocol users will have the option to transact using fiat currency and credit cards on the platform.
