TOKYO, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Japan's three largest banks, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group 8306.T, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group 8316.T and Mizuho Financial Group 8411.T, will jointly issue "stablecoins", digital currencies pegged to the value of real-world currencies, the Nikkei business daily reported on Friday.
The banks will build a structure for their corporate clients to allow for stablecoins to be transferred between them along uniform standards, initially issuing a yen-pegged coin and potentially a dollar-pegged coin in the future, the Nikkei said.
