Datachain Launches Early Evaluation Version of Enterprise Web3 Wallet Amid Japan's Accelerating Stablecoin Adoption

Blockchain infrastructure developer Datachain has launched an early evaluation version of "Datachain Wallet," a proprietary Web3 wallet specifically engineered for corporate and institutional transactions. The rollout targets financial institutions, payment operators, and enterprises seeking to integrate stablecoins and digital assets into their operational workflows.

The initiative arrives amid a rapid shift toward on-chain finance in Japan, spurred by the June 2023 amendment to the Payment Services Act that legally classified stablecoins as "electronic payment methods." Following the late-2025 launch of Japan’s first yen-pegged stablecoin (JPYC) and the June 2026 introduction of the large-scale institutional trust-type stablecoin (JPYSC), domestic demand for secure corporate asset management on the blockchain has intensified.

While standard Web3 wallets are predominantly designed for retail consumers, Datachain Wallet introduces specialized features to address strict corporate compliance and internal control hurdles:

• Internal Control & Multi-Sig: Features specialized approval workflows and multi-signature verification to prevent unauthorized asset movement by single individuals.
• Enterprise-Grade Key Management: Integrates Passkey biometric authentication to replace standard seed phrases, mitigating data leaks and personnel transition risks.
• Gasless Operations: Eliminates the operational and accounting friction of purchasing and managing native crypto tokens for individual transaction fees (gas).
• On-Chain Privacy & Compliance: Connects with Datachain’s "KuraPrivacy" framework, enabling selective data disclosure to satisfy regulatory auditing requirements while shielding sensitive transaction amounts and counterparty data from public ledger visibility.

Though initially scheduled for a spring release, Datachain deferred the launch to prioritize quality adjustments based on corporate feedback. The early evaluation model will feature a limited suite of functions, including the privacy protection framework, to refine the platform ahead of a full commercial release slated for late 2026.

Datachain, a subsidiary of Tokyo-listed Speee (TSE Standard: 4499), will demonstrate the platform at the upcoming WebX 2026 conference in Tokyo starting July 13.

Datachain Launches “Tokenized Deposit” Initiative

Datachain has entered the field of tokenized deposits, leveraging blockchain technology. In recent years, global financial institutions including J.P.
