[!warning] Distinguishing the corporate entities The current operating company is DCP Co., Ltd. Its current corporate history records that DeCurret Holdings absorbed DeCurret DCP in 2026-07 and changed its name to DCP Co., Ltd. “DeCurret DCP Inc.” is retained only as the historical entity before 2026-07 in the corporate record. It is a different legal entity and business from the current S.BLOX, which succeeded to the former DeCurret’s crypto-asset exchange business. See S.BLOX overview for details.
Entity, product and regulatory boundaries
The following table is based on DCP company information and history, its tokenized-deposit explanation, and its service overview. For each participating bank, confirm the deposit liability, eligibility, redemption and deposit-insurance treatment in the issuing bank’s and project’s terms.
| Item | Description established by public materials | What must not be inferred |
|---|---|---|
| Operating company | DCP Co., Ltd. currently describes the DCP tokenized-deposit platform and DCJPY. DeCurret DCP Inc. is the historical entity before the absorption merger | Identity with the former DeCurret / S.BLOX crypto-asset exchange business |
| DCJPY | Described as a yen-denominated deposit token issued by participating banks | A central bank digital currency, crypto-asset or product with uniform conditions across all banks |
| Platform | Connects a financial zone with a business zone to link assets and settlement | That every announced use case has entered commercial production |
| Legal and registration treatment | Applicable law and qualifications for the deposit token and related services must be checked by case | A uniform conclusion about electronic payment instrument, crypto-asset or deposit insurance treatment based only on the product name |
How the platform works
DCP Co., Ltd.’s public service materials describe a design that connects a bank-side financial zone with a corporate-service-side business zone and links digital assets with DCJPY settlement. In analysis, record the following separately.
- The bank issuing the deposit token and the company operating the platform
- The status of a demonstration, technical validation, production validation or commercial service
- The entity responsible for issuance, transfer, redemption, identity verification and ledger records
- The target asset, settlement finality, incident response and participation eligibility
Publicly announced workstreams
The following table is based on DCP Co., Ltd.’s current corporate history, the FSA decision to support the Regulatory Sandbox / FinTech Proof-of-Concept Hub project, and historical DeCurret DCP announcements on interbank settlement of tokenized deposits, completed ST DvP validation, and the basic agreement with the drugstore industry.
| Announcement date | Workstream | How to read the public status |
|---|---|---|
| 2024-08 | The DCJPY Network entered use as its first commercial service | The current corporate history records commercial launch; do not generalize it to every use case or participating bank |
| 2026-04-03 | Interbank settlement of tokenized deposits | An FSA FinTech Proof-of-Concept Hub support project; it does not mean nationwide production operation |
| 2026-04-24 | ST DvP using DCJPY | Announcement of completed live-issuance validation; distinguish this from general availability or application to every case |
| 2026-03-26 | Basic agreement with the drugstore industry | Agreement to study use; it does not show commercial transaction volume or completed deployment |
| 2026-07 | DeCurret Holdings absorbed DeCurret DCP and changed its name to DCP Co., Ltd. | Current company information and history record this as a completed corporate event |
Current status of the absorption merger and name change
The former company’s 2026-04-02 announcement stated that the parent company planned to absorb DeCurret DCP Inc., with 2026-07-01 as the effective date. DCP Co., Ltd.’s current company information and history subsequently record that the absorption merger and name change to DCP Co., Ltd. took place in 2026-07 in the corporate history. The current entity is therefore DCP Co., Ltd.; use the former name only as date-specific historical information.
Due-diligence checklist
- Confirm the issuing bank, deposit liability, eligibility and redemption terms in the project materials.
- Record demonstrations, completed validations and commercial availability as different statuses.
- For DvP or interbank settlement, confirm settlement finality, participants, operating hours and incident handling.
- For a merger or corporate-name change, distinguish the planned announcement from post-effective-date public notice.
- Do not automatically include DCJPY in CBDC, crypto-asset or general stablecoin-adoption counts.
