NETSTARS and AllScale Sign MOU to Advance Stablecoin Payments in Japan
Leveraging expertise in in-store payment implementation, also exploring Web3 applications in B2B payments

NETSTARS Co., Ltd. Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tsuyoshi Ri; hereinafter “NETSTARS”) announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AllScale, a Canada-based company that provides self-custodial stablecoin payment infrastructure enabling low-cost, real-time payments primarily for businesses. Through this collaboration, the two companies will jointly explore initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of stablecoin payments in Japan.

NETSTARS is advancing its “StarPay‑X” vision as a gateway connecting the Web2 and Web3 financial worlds. Rather than relying on specific technologies or services, StarPay‑X seeks to create a flexible environment where users can select the most appropriate solutions according to their needs and use cases, with the goal of embedding Web3-based finance into real-world stores and services. NETSTARS has already conducted Japan’s first proof-of-concept for in-store payments using the U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin USDC at Haneda Airport, and is currently running a second pilot at a specialty trading card shop near Himeji Castle.

AllScale leverages stablecoins to build a wallet platform that enables businesses to send and receive funds within seconds without the need for traditional bank accounts or complex crypto-asset management. In April 2026, AllScale also entered into a strategic partnership with “Bravo Rewards,” a restaurant payment and rewards application based in Vancouver, Canada, enabling stablecoin payments at more than 450 restaurants—demonstrating its track record of implementing stablecoin payments in physical retail environments.

This MOU aims to realize a “multi-wallet” environment within the StarPay-X initiative. By expanding the range of available wallet options, the partners will promote the adoption of stablecoin payments in physical stores, while also exploring future applications in business-to-business (B2B) payments.

This MOU does not constitute a commitment to provide or introduce specific services at this stage. Any concrete initiatives will be discussed and examined through future consultations between the two companies.
