Paycle Inc., the developer of the high-performance public blockchain UPCX, has entered into a strategic partnership with Fantasista Co., Ltd. The collaboration aims to create innovative services powered by blockchain technology and expand its reach across both domestic and international markets. The partnership is expected to strengthen the practical adoption of blockchain in everyday business applications while enhancing the overall corporate value of both organizations.
Driving blockchain innovation through UPCX
UPCX is a public blockchain platform designed to handle large-scale, high-speed payment transactions. It features ultra-high throughput of up to 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), near-instant transaction finality, and low operational costs with reduced environmental impact. Its native cryptocurrency, UPC, is already listed on Japan’s regulated exchange BitTrade as well as on several international trading platforms, reflecting the network’s growing global relevance.
The newly announced partnership is based on a shared goal of expanding blockchain’s real-world applications. Paycle contributes deep technical expertise in blockchain development, while Fantasista brings wide-ranging experience in fields such as real estate, renewable energy, and digital transformation of tangible assets. By leveraging the UPCX platform’s speed and scalability, the two firms plan to co-develop competitive blockchain solutions that can modernize traditional finance and payment systems. Their joint efforts are aimed at optimizing data management, lowering operational costs, and fostering innovation across multiple sectors.
Introducing blockchain in hospitality and real assets
The initial phase of collaboration will focus on developing stablecoin payment systems for the hotel and hospitality industry. The project will cover all stages, from system design and requirements analysis to deployment and operations. In parallel, both companies intend to apply blockchain technology to issue digital securities, or security tokens, in sectors such as real estate and hospitality. This initiative aims to facilitate diverse financing opportunities while reducing related costs.
Beyond financial applications, Paycle and Fantasista plan to extend their partnership into the development of blockchain-based solutions for real-world assets (RWA). These include tokenized representations of physical and digital assets such as gold, artwork, automobiles, and collectible trading cards. The collaboration also envisions the use of blockchain to enhance fan-driven industries, covering areas like film and television project financing, live streaming, and sports event broadcasting—fields where transparency and digital ownership play a growing role.

Combining expertise for global reach
As part of the agreement, Paycle will share its blockchain-related technical information and expertise with Fantasista, offering guidance for the planning and implementation of new blockchain-based services. Both firms will jointly design and develop specific blockchain products tailored for Fantasista’s service portfolio.
The companies have expressed intentions to market these jointly developed solutions not only in Japan but also to customers overseas. Their objective is to achieve sustained business expansion and long-term profitability through this collaborative approach.
Through this partnership, both organizations seek to combine their technological strengths and industry insights to continuously promote the deployment of innovative services built on the UPCX blockchain. The alliance is viewed as a step toward deeper integration of advanced blockchain technology into real-world business environments.
Looking ahead, Paycle and Fantasista intend to strengthen their cooperation further, explore new business models, and contribute to the broader adoption of blockchain technology worldwide. The collaboration represents a mutual effort to create practical, sustainable, and forward-looking blockchain solutions that generate value for industries and users alike.
