Upbit Reassures Investors Following False APT Token DepositsFollowing a recent situation where false Aptos (APT) tokens were mistakenly accepted as authentic deposits, Upbit, South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has reassured investors that such problems will not recur.Photo by Markus Spiske on UnsplashIrregular Aptos token depositsAn Upbit representative informed local news outlet Digital Asset that the platform had detected irregular deposit activities related to Aptos-based tokens of the same type on September 24. In response, the platform addressed the coding anomalies during the suspension of APT deposits and withdrawals.Software correctionThe representative said that, as the resumption of APT deposits and withdrawals took place at 23:00 KST on September 24 after the software correction, no virtual assets on the exchange, including APT, should face similar issues in the future.Asset monitoringThe official highlighted that the trading platform employs a real-time process that monitors and compares customer assets with on-chain assets, a step that contributed to the mitigation of the fallout from the incident.

Japan’s Aozora Bank Plans Digital Currency LaunchGMO Aozora Net Bank, a Japanese commercial bank and a member of a Japanese corporate consortium comprising over 100 members, has unveiled plans to introduce a blockchain-based digital currency known as DCJPY.Photo by David Edelstein on UnsplashDCJPYAccording to Reuters, the blockchain-based digital currency is scheduled for launch in July of the upcoming year. DCJPY will be a Japanese yen-based stablecoin, underpinned by deposits and harnessing blockchain technology to enable instantaneous and seamless transactions. Unlike conventional transfer methods that rely on a bank’s data system, DCJPY circumvents this process via a blockchain network, leading to a reduction in associated costs.Efficient inter-company paymentsThe primary objective of Aozora Bank’s venture is to streamline payments between businesses. The incorporation of blockchain technology offers a secure, transparent, and efficient transaction framework. By adopting this digital currency, companies can experience the advantages of swift settlements while concurrently mitigating the financial outlays tied to traditional banking systems.This consortium recognizes the vast potential of blockchain technology and is seeking to harness its inherent benefits to enhance diverse business operations. With the upcoming launch of DCJPY, the consortium will effectively be promoting the use of blockchain-based digital currencies within Japan and catalyzing innovation within the financial sector. The project has the potential to bring about heightened efficiency, cost reductions, and an overall enhancement in the realm of financial transactions.Banking heavyweightsThis move by Aozora aligns with the global surge in interest and adoption of blockchain technology. The bank operates as a prominent member of a broader consortium, which encompasses a multitude of Japanese corporations. The consortium includes major players in Japanese banking, including Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), Mizuho Financial Group, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. It has been meeting frequently to assess ways in which it can build a common settlement infrastructure for digital payments.MUFG is already deeply involved in blockchain-based innovation. The banking group has established its very own Progmat blockchain tokenization platform, which includes the Progmat Coin stablecoin platform.Last month, the bank announced a partnership with Binance which will endeavor to investigate the issuance of public blockchain stablecoins based on the Japanese yen. MUFG’s Progmat includes Mizuho as one of its clients on the blockchain platform.Stablecoin regulationThese recent announcements and Aozora Bank’s stablecoin plans follow the passage of a bill by Japan’s parliament earlier this year that restricts stablecoin issuance by non-banking institutions. The bill stipulates that only licensed banks, trust companies, and registered money transfer agents are permitted to issue stablecoins. Furthermore, it establishes a registration system for financial institutions planning to launch such digital assets, accompanied by anti-money laundering measures.A report published by Nikkei Asia earlier this year suggested that three Japanese banks, namely Shikoku Bank, Tokyo Kiraboshi, and Minna Bank, had all expressed the intention to issue stablecoins. In June, Japanese global information technology solutions company Fujitsu announced that it intended to launch a blockchain-based platform in conjunction with the Asian Development Bank.
