Yen digital currency refers to the tokenized representation of the Japanese Yen on a blockchain or distributed ledger technology. This digital form of the Yen aims to facilitate faster, more efficient payments and settlements within the Japanese financial system. It can exist as a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or a privately issued stablecoin. It is a digital counterpart to Japan’s national currency.
