Avalanche’s enterprise division has scored a major win in Asia. TIS Inc., the company powering roughly half of Japan’s credit card transactions, has launched its new Multi-Token Platform on AvaCloud—Avalanche’s managed blockchain service. The project aims to digitize a significant portion of Japan’s $6 trillion payments ecosystem by issuing and managing stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and digital securities on a single platform.
TIS, known for its PAYCIERGE payment infrastructure, processes over ¥300 trillion in annual transaction volume. With the new blockchain-based system, it plans to extend those operations into programmable finance while maintaining strict compliance and reliability standards.
“This service safely enables the issuance, management, and distribution of diverse digital assets,” said Isao Otokita, Managing Executive Director at TIS.
AvaCloud, developed by Avalanche, automates the technical complexities of blockchain deployment, handling scalability, security, and governance so that firms like TIS can focus on product integration.
The Multi-Token Platform will use Avalanche’s Glacier API suite to ensure transparency and regulatory oversight, providing real-time network data to financial institutions.
Japan’s steady move toward regulated blockchain finance is evident in TIS’s decision to adopt production-level infrastructure rather than rely on small-scale pilot projects.
From DeFi to institutional adoption
Over the past year, Avalanche’s deployed smart contracts have tripled to more than 44 million, while decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes surpassed $2.2 billion within three days.
When combined with TIS’s integration, this activity illustrates a maturing network that is scaling from DeFi-native experimentation to enterprise-grade financial systems.
Japan’s use of Avalanche for a nationwide payment system highlights how blockchain is moving beyond retail DeFi toward mainstream financial infrastructure.
