AllScale has signed an MOU with NETSTARS to explore stablecoin payment adoption in Japan, combining NETSTARS’ in-store payment expertise with AllScale’s self-custodial stablecoin payment infrastructure.
AllScale has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with NETSTARS Co., Ltd. to jointly explore initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of stablecoin payments in Japan.
The collaboration brings together NETSTARS’ experience in in-store payment implementation and AllScale’s self-custodial stablecoin payment infrastructure, with both companies exploring how stablecoins can support faster, lower-cost, real-time payments in physical retail and future business-to-business payment use cases.
NETSTARS is advancing its StarPay-X vision as a gateway connecting the Web2 and Web3 financial worlds. The initiative is designed to create a flexible environment where users can select payment solutions based on their needs and use cases, with the goal of bringing Web3-based finance into real-world stores and services.
As part of this MOU, AllScale and NETSTARS will explore a multi-wallet environment within the StarPay-X initiative. By expanding the range of available wallet options, the companies aim to support the adoption of stablecoin payments in physical stores while also examining future applications in B2B payments.
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. The company is also currently running a second pilot at a specialty trading card shop near Himeji Castle.
AllScale provides a fintech platform that enables businesses to invoice and accept payments in stablecoins. Built on a self-custodial architecture, AllScale enables wallet-to-wallet payments within seconds while providing invoicing, settlement, and compliance tooling for merchants, freelancers, and SMEs seeking faster, lower-cost alternatives to traditional payment infrastructure.
AllScale has also been expanding real-world stablecoin payment use cases internationally. In April 2026, AllScale 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.
This MOU does not constitute a commitment to provide or introduce a specific service at this stage. Any concrete initiatives will be discussed and examined through future consultations between AllScale and NETSTARS.
AllScale does not currently offer services to customers domiciled in Japan. Any future service provision in Japan would be subject to obtaining all required Japanese regulatory authorizations.
