JPYC is an electronic payment instrument, taxed differently from crypto. Using/sending/redeeming it 1:1 is generally tax-free; swapping for other crypto, DeFi rewards and receiving it as pay can be taxable. JPYC-specific NTA guidance is still developing.
JPYC, Japan's first FSA-regulated yen stablecoin, launched in October 2025. Through 2026 its circulation grew, JPYC Inc. raised more in Series B, Unifi added support, and SBI × Startale's JPYSC got underway. Figures are approximate.

US spot BTC ETFs saw a record 13-day ~$4.4B outflow streak in June 2026, cutting AUM to ~$80.4B; IBIT was ~75% of it. Flows are a supply/demand thermometer but often cyclical — read with price and macro.
