Nudge Extends Bonus Campaign for Stablecoin Payments

Nudge Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda City, Tokyo, has announced a continuation of its highly popular "100% Bonus for Stablecoin Payments by Avalanche" campaign until January 31, 2026. This decision comes following a significant response from users, far exceeding expectations.

Background of the Extension

The stablecoin payment option on the Nudge card allows users to repay by sending JPYC to a specified Nudge wallet address. Prior to launch, there was considerable interest from users, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. With growing expectations for financial services involving stablecoins and the Avalanche network, many users expressed their desire for the campaign to be extended.

To meet these expectations and allow more users to experience stablecoin repayments, Nudge decided to extend the campaign by one month.

Campaign Overview

The campaign enables users to earn bonuses when repaying in JPYC on the Avalanche network. Every 100th user who makes a repayment will receive a bonus equivalent to their repaid amount. This means if a user repays JPYC worth 100,000 yen, they would receive a bonus of the same amount.

Campaign Details:

• - Name: 100% Bonus for Stablecoin Payments by Avalanche
• - Extended Duration: October 27, 2025 - January 31, 2026
• - Eligibility: Users repaying with JPYC on the Avalanche network
• - Bonus Distribution: One in every 100 users will earn a bonus, capped at 100,000 yen per repayment
• - Usage of Bonus: Bonuses can be applied toward required repayments or for advance payments.

Note: The campaign may end early if budget limits are reached.

About Nudge Card’s Stablecoin Payment

The stablecoin market is expanding significantly around the globe, with the total issuance surpassing $250 billion, even exceeding the transaction volume of traditional payment processors like Visa and Mastercard. To incorporate stablecoins into everyday use, it's essential to broaden the acceptance of these currencies at various retailers and enhance the user interface for regular customers.

JPYC will be the first yen-based stablecoin launched in Japan, starting on October 27, 2025. For stores to accept JPYC payments, they don’t need a contract with JPYC Corp., but may require knowledge for managing an unhosted wallet and potentially updating POS systems for larger chain stores.

To address this, Nudge leverages its flexible payment system to offer the first option in Japan for repaying credit cards with stablecoins. This will allow customers to transact with JPYC for a broad range of purchases in convenience stores, restaurants, online subscriptions, and utility bills across all VISA-partnered retailers worldwide.

Nudge will continue expanding the user base and partnered chains for the stablecoin payment option in accordance with demand. They are also actively considering future integrations with other stablecoins and tokenized deposits, providing users with even wider options.
