Japan's third-largest convenience chain joins KDDI and HashPort on a proof-of-concept that, if it scales, would make stablecoins a daily-payment rail rather than a trading asset.
The chain's mid-year update keeps a 2025 claim on the table: Bitcoin rails still cheaper than card processing, with the company flagging the Lightning Network as the cost driver.
The pitch is structural, not incremental: merchants keep BTC by default, settle onchain in roughly 12 hours, and pay 0.2% split with miners — a direct counter to Block's fiat-conversion rails.
