(head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Shota Iwasaki, President and CEO), Japan&#8217;s trusted gateway for global blockchain companies, today announced that it has become a Fireblocks referral partner in Japan, supporting adoption of the institutional-grade digital asset platform built on MPC technology from Fireblocks (head office: New York, USA). Under the partnership, Fireblocks joins the lineup of Pacific Meta&#8217;s solution program, Global Blockchain Partner Solutions (GBPS). Pacific Meta will provide Japanese enterprises and financial institutions evaluating Fireblocks with consistent end-to-end support in Japanese, from requirements definition and technical support to guidance on domestic regulatory considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25bc Partner solutions<br><a href=\"https:\/\/pacific-meta.co.jp\/service\/partner-solutions\/\" title=\"https:\/\/pacific-meta.co.jp\/service\/partner-solutions\/\">https:\/\/pacific-meta.co.jp\/service\/partner-solutions\/<\/a><br><em><code>(Japanese-language service page)<\/code><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\u25bc Fireblocks solution details<br><a href=\"https:\/\/pacific-meta.co.jp\/partner-solutions\/fireblocks\/\">https:\/\/pacific-meta.co.jp\/partner-solutions\/fireblocks\/<\/a><br><em><code>(Japanese-language service page)<\/code><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Japan, Why Now<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan&#8217;s revised Payment Services Act, in effect since 2023, has established one of the world&#8217;s clearest regulatory frameworks for stablecoins, and the country&#8217;s security-token market continues to expand. Japanese banks, trust companies, and enterprises are moving from study groups to implementation. The foundation of these businesses is the technology layer supporting custody, payments, and issuance \u2014 a layer that must meet the security and regulatory standards expected of financial institutions. Yet most platforms that meet that bar are built overseas, making adoption challenging in terms of language, contracting, and regulatory alignment. Fireblocks already has a growing Japanese footprint: Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) has explored stablecoin issuance in a collaboration involving Fireblocks, and Fireblocks supported Mitsui &amp; Co. Group&#8217;s multi-chain expansion of the Zipang Coin (ZPG) series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What This Partnership Delivers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fireblocks added to Pacific Meta&#8217;s Global Blockchain Partner Solutions program, launched in May 2026 as the Japan go-to-market gateway for global blockchain solution providers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Japanese-language support across the adoption journey: distilling Fireblocks&#8217; technical documentation and security architecture, framing requirements, and supporting internal evaluation \u2014 with Pacific Meta acting as a Japanese-language bridge to the Fireblocks team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mapping of Fireblocks capabilities (AML\/KYT integrations, Travel Rule, asset segregation) to Japanese regulatory requirements including the Payment Services Act<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contracting support \u2014 customers contract directly with Fireblocks, with Pacific Meta organizing open questions and coordinating with the Fireblocks team in Japanese<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PoC design and execution, from sandbox validation to production rollout, plus integrated proposals combining Fireblocks with other GBPS solutions (AML\/KYT, audit, and more)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post-launch support: operational monitoring, new chain and feature adoption, and escalation to the Fireblocks global team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Group delivery via Kirifuda Inc.
