Binance And Mitsubishi Team Up For Major Project

Binance and Mitsubishi have teamed up on a new, major blockchain project.

According to sources, the two entities are collaborating on stablecoin development that will mint both U.S. dollar and Yen-backed stablecoins.

This move comes after Japanese officials appeared to embrace blockchain and Web 3.0 technologies.

Coinvestors reports: “What set the stage for this monumental collaboration was Binance’s reentry into the Japanese market in August 2023, after clearing regulatory challenges. This initiative centers around the utilization of the Progmat Coin platform.
