The agreement is aimed at helping Kaia pursue Japanese digital-asset opportunities, navigate local financial rules and speed stablecoin commercialization through Pinoject’s regulatory support.
Kaia said it signed a business partnership agreement with Pinoject, a Japanese consulting firm specializing in Web3 and financial regulation, to expand its push into Japan’s digital-asset market. The partnership is aimed at identifying opportunities in stablecoins, tokenization and related businesses while helping Kaia respond more proactively to Japanese financial rules. Kaia said Pinoject will support its full-scale expansion in Japan by advising on regulatory compliance, licensing, and operating frameworks tied to digital-asset businesses. The company said Pinoject has practical experience dealing with Japan’s Financial Services Agency and the Financial Action Task Force, and provides one-stop support for areas including stablecoin issuance. Kaia said it expects the tie-up to accelerate stablecoin commercialization in Japan by combining its blockchain technology with Pinoject’s regulatory expertise and local network. Suh Sang-min, chairman of the Kaia Foundation, said Japan is a critical market because of its regulatory transparency and market size. Pinoject Chief Executive Officer Mine Kimihiro said Kaia already has a track record in Japanese yen stablecoins and that he plans to act as a bridge between Kaia’s technology base and Japanese business operators.
