■Content of Discussion
In response to the revised Funds Settlement Law that went into effect on June 1, we discussed the following topics, including stablecoins from Japan, which are attracting attention not only in the web3 industry but also in the financial industry and major media both domestically and internationally.
Stablecoins have already issued 20 trillion yen worldwide. In Japan, legislation is being developed to ensure that there will be no "stablecoin crashes" that are occurring overseas.
G.U. Technologies has been conducting demonstration tests of stablecoin with several banks in Japan and is preparing for the circulation of stablecoin in 2024.
As part of web3business x local development, Corgear is conducting a demonstration experiment of the e-Kaga Citizen System, an e-Residency (electronic citizenship, electronic residency) program utilizing NFT, with Kaga City in Ishikawa Prefecture. Next spring, the program will proceed to the production step with enhanced benefits, such as discounts and preferential treatment for "e-Kaga Citizens" locally.
This dialogue was held in a meeting room at the Sony Group headquarters and was attended by approximately 30-40 people, including not only Corgear employees but also web3-related and external members of the Sony Group.
