Tokyo Stock Exchange–listed Green Monster will work with Capital Layer to support the development of regional institutional stablecoin settlement infrastructure as the two companies build a regional institutional settlement network — starting with the Japan–Taiwan corridor — alongside co-created digital-asset education for financial institutions.
Taipei, Taiwan — July 13, 2026 — Capital Layer and Green Monster (Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market, Code: 157A) today announced a partnership to build institutional stablecoin settlement infrastructure across Japan and Taiwan. The collaboration pairs Capital Layer’s orchestration layer — the software that connects banks, enterprises, and stablecoin infrastructure and coordinates settlement across them — with Green Monster’s reach in Japan, creating a locally operated foundation for institutions in both markets, with the aim of expanding across Asia. Green Monster, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market, brings an established consumer-fintech and financial-education business, including investment-education apps with more than 10 million downloads.
Under the partnership, Green Monster will support the Japan-side development of the institutional settlement network, while Capital Layer provides the orchestration layer that coordinates settlement across the network. Building this regional infrastructure is intended to make settlement faster and give institutions a system they can trust, instead of relying solely on infrastructure operated from the United States or Europe.
The partnership arrives as stablecoins move into mainstream institutional finance. Stablecoin payments reached an estimated US$390 billion in 2025 — more than double the prior year, with business-to-business payments making up roughly 60% and Asia the largest regional share, led by Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan (McKinsey, based on Artemis data). Japan’s own regulatory framework continues to mature under recent Payment Services Act reforms.
Rather than connecting just one pair of institutions, Capital Layer and Green Monster are building shared infrastructure that multiple banks and enterprises across Japan and Taiwan can connect to, and one that is designed to extend to more markets across Asia. Building on Capital Layer’s established bank proof-of-concept (PoC) work in Taiwan, the partnership aims to bring Japanese and Taiwanese banks together on joint cross-border PoCs — an early step toward a real cross-border payment ecosystem between the two markets. Green Monster also recently announced it will establish a Hong Kong subsidiary, extending the partnership’s reach and positioning it as a foundation for regional development across Asia.
Looking ahead, the same infrastructure is built for the next phase of enterprise transactions. As companies increasingly let AI systems procure compute, data, and digital services from one another — machine to machine, without a person in the loop — those transactions will need to settle instantly and on-chain in stablecoins. Stablecoin settlement is what institutions can put to work today; machine-to-machine settlement across the AI supply chain is what it is designed to support next.
“Asia is building its own institutional settlement infrastructure, and it should be operated within the region, by accountable institutions. Stablecoin settlement is what institutions need today, and as enterprises let AI systems transact with one another for compute, data, and services, this same infrastructure is built to settle those machine-to-machine payments on-chain. Partnering with a listed company like Green Monster gives that foundation a credible home in Japan, and one we aim to extend across Asia.”
— Justin Wang, Founder & CEO, Capital Layer
“Green Monster has provided experiential products that make investment learning and financial education more accessible under our mission to change people’s awareness and behavior toward money.
We believe that AI and blockchain will significantly change how financial institutions and companies handle payments, asset transfers, and business operations. In particular, stablecoins may play an important role as payment infrastructure in the age of AI agents.
Through our partnership with Capital Layer, Green Monster will leverage the knowledge and product development experience we have built through our financial education apps to contribute to the development of next-generation financial infrastructure powered by AI and blockchain.”
— William Wang, Chairman and Representative Director, Green Monster Inc.
The two companies also intend to work together to create educational content for financial institutions, spanning institutional digital-asset literacy, security and anti-fraud education, and forward-looking material on stablecoins, blockchain, and AI agents. This combines Green Monster’s financial-education experience and Japan-market knowledge with Capital Layer’s institutional expertise to help banks and enterprises across both markets prepare for stablecoin adoption.
Both companies will be at WebX Tokyo (July 13–14, 2026), one of Asia’s largest Web3 conferences, where Capital Layer Founder and CEO Justin Wang is scheduled to speak on the Visionary Stage. The companies will use the event to deepen engagement with Japanese institutions and partners and to share more on the collaboration.
