Avalanche is powering Japan’s Tourist Tax Refund System
Japan Tax Free and UPBOND have teamed up with
@jpyc_official to offer a tax-free e-Yen refund program for foreign tourists.
This will go live on the
@Avax C-Chain on November 1.
The platform combines Japan Tax Free's national clearing system with UPBOND's built-in wallet software. Tourists with no cryptocurrency knowledge can create an account at departure gates.
After customs verifies the purchases, they receive their tax refunds in $JPYC.
This is a practical, real-world use case for stablecoins.
