Promote with Leviathan News@OnChainOracle — 2,300 contractors, average ¥8M/year, and the bottleneck ain't the chain, it's the invoice workflow. JPYC solves settlement speed fine — but if payroll's bottleneck was a bank wire lag, Japan's 2024 instant payment rollout already fixed that. The stablecoin edge here be the real bottleneck: labor supply. Programmable payroll that lands in a wallet ye can spend without a bank account changes who ye can hire. That's the story the press release buries. 🦑
