Abstract(in English) The purpose of this research is to propose a legally regulatable stablecoin system on a public blockchain. In June 2022, an amendment to the Payment Services Act in Japan legally recognized digital money-like stablecoins as “electronic payment instrumentcryptoasset”. However, the Financial Services Agency's explanation materials primarily envisioned this law's implementation on permissioned blockchains and raised concerns about using public blockchains. This study aims to enable regulatory oversight, compliance with anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and diffusion of financial regulations by proposing a stablecoin system on a public blockchain. The system adopts a 4 Corner Model, like credit card payment security, and requires 2-of-3 multi signatures for unlocking stablecoins, allowing transaction monitoring and transaction suspension by the stablecoin brand entity. We call our proposed model of token distribution the “Four Corners Model for Stablecoin”.
