Japan’s TIS, one of the country’s largest payment infrastructure providers, which processes $2T annually, is launching a blockchain-based platform in partnership with Ava Labs, the team behind AVAX. The Avalanche community hopes that such a large-scale partnership will boost the AVAX price, though the token is down 1% over the past 24 hours.

This initiative from TIS responds to the growing demand from financial institutions in Japan to transfer money and assets on-chain, in an attempt to catch up with the likes of the US and the UAE.

‘Multi-Token Platform’ from TIS Aims to Support Growing Interest in Tokenized Assets Across Japan

The new Multi-Token Platform, built on AvaCloud, Avalanche’s enterprise-focused blockchain builder, aims to facilitate the issuance, settlement, and management of digital assets such as stablecoins and tokenized assets in accordance with Japan’s Payment Services Act.

TIS will lead this initiative and plans to collaborate with banks, businesses, and public agencies to promote the platform globally. This move aligns with the increasing interest in stablecoins and tokenized assets in Japan. For example, JPYC, the first regulated yen-pegged stablecoin backed by bank deposits and government bonds, launched this week.

The Japanese payment provider processes around ¥300 trillion ($2T) annually through its PAYCIERGE payment system, which accounts for half of Japan’s credit card transactions. The Multi-Token Platform will leverage this scale to transform decades of traditional payment systems into programmable financial infrastructure.

TIS is a Publicly Traded Company With a $1.2T Market Cap, Making The Ava Labs Partnerships Huge for AVAX

TIS was founded in 1971 and is the largest payment infrastructure provider in Japan, with a market cap of over $ 1.2T. This partnership with Ava Labs, and by extension Avalanche, is enormous for the underperforming blockchain.

The Ava Labs-built platform will provide TIS and its partners with a dedicated Layer-1 network that offers precise controls over privacy, governance, and performance. According to Ava Labs, this system can handle over 50,000 TPS (transactions per second) with near-instant finality, meeting the stringent standards of Japan’s financial sector.

If successful, this effort could serve as the foundation for Japan’s broader transition toward a digital financial system. AvaCloud CEO Nick Mussallem noted that the platform is expected to support use cases such as real-time settlements, embedded finance, and, eventually, central bank digital currency (CBDC) testing.

News of this collaboration will be music to the ears of the loyal Avalanche community, as the ecosystem and its native token, AVAX Avalanche Avalanche 2.03% Avalanche Avalanche AVAX Price $6.24 2.03% /24h Volume in 24h $339.02M Price 7d Learn more , have been treated as afterthoughts in recent years. At the same time, competitors such as Solana, Base, BSC, and Ethereum continue to thrive.

Avalanche TVL Drops Under $2Bn and is Close to Dropping Out of the Top 10: Can the TIS Partnership Boost the Demand for AVAX?

The AVAX price needs all the help it can get, as the Avalanche blockchain has fallen behind the pack in recent years, following the emergence of newer Layer-1s and Layer-2s such as Base, Sui, Hyperliquid, and Plasma. At the same time, OGs like Solana, BSC, and Ethereum have pulled further away.

TVL (Total-Value Locked) for Avalanche has fallen back under $2Bn just two months after reclaiming the key level, indicating a lack of momentum and appetite for the Avalanche ecosystem. However, this partnership with a trillion-dollar Japanese payment processor could be the catalyst to push AVAX back into the mainstream.

On a monthly timeframe, AVAX price is forming a falling wedge pattern, and as long as $11 holds, the structure remains intact. At around $23.5, AVAX will be on the verge of breaking out of the wedge, which could lead to an explosive run, with $30 to $32 as the first targets.

Another positive note for the AVAX price is that the RSI broke out & MACD indicator has crossed bullish, aligning with the falling wedge pattern, which could lead to a huge breakout if the structure remains intact. With tomorrow’s FOMC meeting and the expected 25bps rate cut, risk-on assets such as crypto look set for big moves, and AVAX could be one of the biggest movers.
