> Eligible international buyers can pay for vehicles exported from Japan while SAT Japan receives U.S. dollars.

Triple-A announced a partnership with Japanese vehicle exporter SAT Japan on Oct. 29 to enable eligible international buyers to pay for exported vehicles with Tether (USDT) or USD Coin (USDC). The announcement does not give a start date for USDT or USDC support.

Triple-A will process payments, convert the funds, handle compliance and settle the proceeds in U.S. dollars. SAT Japan would receive dollars without holding or managing the digital assets.

Triple-A founder and CEO Eric Barbier said “payment speed, costs, and certainty matter.” Triple-A described faster payment confirmation as a potential benefit, but provided no processing-time or fee comparisons, transaction volume or customer uptake.

SAT Japan’s payment information lists cryptocurrency via Triple-A, but does not name supported tokens or give a start date for that option.
