JPYSC supply grew 29.5% over the past 30 days, to $1.0M. Its peak was $164M in November 2026, and supply is 99% below that high.

JPYSC is trading within 0.5% of its target, which is normal for a healthy stablecoin.
Where JPYSC lives: supply by blockchain
Supply is concentrated: Ethereum holds 100% of all JPYSC. Moving it to another chain means bridging, or a mint and redeem through the issuer.
How JPYSC is backed
Each JPYSC is meant to be redeemable for one unit of its reference currency, backed by reserves such as bank deposits and short-term government debt held by the issuer or its custodians.
Minting and redemption: JPYSC is minted by SBI Shinsei Trust & Banking when Japanese yen is entrusted to the issuing trust, and redeemed 1:1 for yen through the trust; issuance and redemption are centrally controlled by the licensed trust bank.
JPYSC risks
Your claim is on the issuer and the banks or funds holding its reserves. A failure or freeze there can break the peg, as USDC briefly did in March 2023.
Fiat-backed issuers can usually freeze tokens at specific addresses, for example to comply with sanctions or court orders.
With $1.0M in circulation, exiting a large position may move the price. Redemption may be limited to approved customers.
Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
