Nudge Launches Web3 Open Bridge Consulting Services

Nudge Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, officially announced today the initiation of its consulting service called Nudge Web3 Open Bridge. This service aims to share expertise in Web3 technology, specifically regarding the stablecoin payment feature implemented for its next-generation credit card, Nudge. By providing its amassed knowledge to other financial institutions, Nudge aims to enhance the digital transformation of the payment card industry while facilitating the integration of Web3 finance into society.

Background of Nudge Web3 Open Bridge Launch

The stablecoin market has seen tremendous growth internationally, gaining traction not only in remittances and decentralized finance but also across various other applications. On October 2025, Nudge will start facilitating payments with stablecoins denominated in Japanese yen, known as JPYC, for its credit card transactions. This innovative structure will allow users to indirectly make payments at over 150 million Visa merchants worldwide, marking a milestone in domestic payment systems and generating significant interest in the new payment experience that Web3 offers.

Achieving the stablecoin payment capability has been made possible by leveraging Nudge's technological strengths, alongside the necessary flexibility sought in asset management within the cryptocurrency space. In addition to this, Nudge has pioneered offering a built-in NFT Wallet that manages NFTs without recovery phrases, positioning itself as a leader in the Web3 domain.

Emphasizing its role as a pioneer, Nudge is committed to openly sharing its practical knowledge around technical insights, security measures, and regulatory compliance systems, which it has developed through these implementations. This approach is designed to pave the way for financial institutions to enter the Web3 sector swiftly and safely, while also creating new customer experiences. Notably, Nudge is collaborating with Bel System 24 as its operational support partner, establishing a comprehensive support system that addresses the unique flexibility and mobility required in the Web3 landscape.

Commitment to Open Sharing

Nudge firmly believes that the technologies of Web3 should not be monopolized by one particular company but should be shared openly, as this approach will yield broader social benefits. Looking ahead, Nudge plans to expand its partnerships in various fields, thereby providing a wide range of services to further enhance the adoption of Web3 within the financial industry.

Initial Service Offerings and Future Expansion Plans

Within the scope of Nudge Web3 Open Bridge, the firm will offer concrete solutions to address pre-implementation inquiries related to stablecoin payments. This includes aspects such as security and governance & compliance frameworks, utilizing specific insights gleaned from real-world applications.

The initial service will focus primarily on facilitating payments using the established Japanese yen stablecoin, JPYC, but the capabilities of Nudge Web3 Open Bridge won't be limited to just one currency. The service prepares for an adaptable architectural system to support diverse stablecoins and digital currencies, circulating both domestically and globally.

Additional expansions include incorporating comprehensive knowledge from providing Nudge NFT Wallet β which harmonizes user experience with a robust security and compliance framework. This would allow the sharing of business insights to enhance user engagement as part of broader Web3 applications.

As a challenger bank of the Web3 era, Nudge is dedicated to promoting open innovation and aims to craft a new financial experience that transcends traditional banking boundaries.
