Anchorage Digital Partners with GMO-Z.com Trust Company
September 13, 2022- GMO-Z.com Trust Company Inc. the U.S.-regulated stablecoin subsidiary of Japanese financial services and Internet conglomerate GMO Internet Group, has partnered with Anchorage Digital to bring GYEN, the world’s first regulated Japanese yen (JPY) stablecoin to Anchorage’s institutional clients.
GYEN is the first JPY stablecoin approved by the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) and is a 1:1 backed stablecoin with assets held at FDIC insured banks.

“GYEN is a great example of what we have long believed: regulated, compliant stablecoins make currencies more competitive globally through faster settlements, greater accessibility, and better affordability. We are pleased to bring our clients yet another stablecoin, offering them exposure to a stablecoin 1:1 with the Japanese Yen.” said Diogo Mónica, Co-Founder and President of Anchorage Digital
Ken Nakamura, CEO, GMO-Z.com Trust Company commented: “Anchorage is a leading firm in regulated custody and crypto trading, and shares our conviction that tier one institutions and traders have embraced stablecoins as an efficient digital asset. We selected Anchorage as our partner for their ability to adapt their product to meet growing demand from institutional clients, while appealing to a global, institutional audience. We’re thrilled to partner with Anchorage and continue expanding regulated, compliant stablecoin participation globally.”
