Integration of blockchain finance with tourism payments. Seamless crypto transactions that pay out in stablecoins and reward users with NFT collections.
Stablecoins in Japan
Japan’s 2023 stablecoin regulation paved the way for legally-issued yen-backed tokens. With over ¥141.0 trillion in cashless transaction volumes and ¥8.1 trillion in tourism spend, stablecoins enable a more flexible, interoperable way to issue and redeem value — both for locals and visitors.Optimum bridges this shift by integrating stablecoins into everyday retail infrastructure — starting with Japan’s domestic businesses.
Optimum Payments
Optimum is compatible with all cryptocurrencies that lives natively on the XRP Ledger- including RLUSD and XRP. The user can pay in any cryptocurrency, and the merchant will receive them in their own wallet in seconds.
NFT collections
Users can now claim NFTs for the following purposes; cute collectables, promotional redemption for real goods, proof of visit and loyalty stamps.
Market Value
In 2025, Japan recorded ¥10 trillion in inbound tourism spending from foreign visitors, powered by 39 million visitors by November 2025. This accounts for roughly 2% of Japan's GDP. The trend is set to grow - a 23% increase from 2024 and projected to grow 8 ~ 10 % annually as the government now targets 60 million visitors and ¥15 trillion spending by 2030.
