Logistics Giant AZ-COM Maruwa Joins JPYC's $38M Series B

Woofun AI reports that Japanese yen stablecoin issuer JPYC has finalized an extension to its Series B funding round, securing Japanese logistics group AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings as a new strategic investor. This capital injection aims to accelerate the adoption of the company’s yen-pegged stablecoin while expanding its broader financial and Web3 ecosystem.

The cumulative total for the round now stands at approximately 6 billion yen, equivalent to $38 million. This figure represents an increase of about 1 billion yen from the roughly 5 billion yen disclosed in May. Although JPYC did not reveal the specific amount raised through this extension or the exact size of AZ-COM’s stake, Nikkei reported on July 20 that AZ-COM was considering an investment exceeding 1 billion yen. No further financial terms regarding the capital or business alliance were provided.

Woofun AI data shows, Structurally, the partnership focuses on integrating stablecoin payments into AZ-COM’s extensive logistics network. The initiative targets approximately 2,300 delivery partners and contractors, aiming to streamline transactions within this supply chain segment. Details regarding the investment structure and planned applications were sought from JPYC but no response was received by publication time.

JPYC stated that merging its stablecoin infrastructure with AZ-COM’s logistics capabilities will facilitate onchain finance by integrating commercial, logistics, and payment flows. This collaboration marks a significant step toward embedding digital assets into traditional supply chain operations. Such integration could redefine how large-scale logistics firms manage liquidity and settlement processes.
