The effort will also include partnerships with Ava Labs, the creator of the Avalanche blockchain, and Fireblocks, a platform for digital asset custody and transfer, according to Nikkei Asia.

根據Nikkei Asia的說法，這項工作還將包括與Ava Labs，Ava Labs的合作夥伴關係，雪崩區塊鏈的創建者和Fireblocks是數字資產監護和轉移平台的Fireblocks。

The initiative hopes to enable immediate, 24/7 cross-border payments that could cut dependence on legacy infrastructure such as SWIFT, whose operations can be delayed by the differences in banking hours and intermediaries.

該倡議希望能夠立即進行24/7跨境支付，以削減對諸如Swift之類的舊基礎設施的依賴，Swift可以通過銀行營業時間和中介機構的差異來延遲其運營。

SMBC plans to collaborate with Japanese IT company TIS to perform pilot tests of the stablecoin project in the fourth quarter of 2025 or early in 2026. If trials are successful, live issuance should follow later in the year.

SMBC計劃與日本IT Company TIS合作，在2025年第四季度或2026年初對Stablecoin項目進行試點測試。如果試驗成功，則應在今年晚些時候進行實時發行。

The step is a part of a broader scheme by SMBC to enhance cross-border payment systems through blockchain technology. In 2024, SMBC, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), and Mizuho Financial Group participated in “Project Pax.”

該步驟是SMBC通過區塊鏈技術增強跨境支付系統的更廣泛計劃的一部分。 2024年，SMBC，Mitsubishi UFJ金融集團（MUFG）和Mizuho Financial Group參加了“ Project Pax”。

SMBC’s journey with blockchain technology began in February 2019, when its IT team completed a blockchain proof of concept for payment promises on the Marco Polo trade finance platform developed by R3.

SMBC與區塊鏈技術的旅程始於2019年2月，當時其IT團隊在R3開發的Marco Polo Trade Finance Platform上完成了區塊鏈的概念驗證，以獲得付款承諾。

The bank’s shift toward stablecoins is part of a wider trend in the financial industry, with big banks like JPMorgan and Citi exploring similar blockchain solutions for better and faster payment systems.
