At the 2025 Singapore PayFi ReWrite Forum hosted by OSL Group on October 2, Tokio Nakamoto, Chief Operating Officer of Slash Vision Labs, said that the core value of encrypted payment lies not only in the medium of payment, but also in the fund management after payment.

Payments received with Visa, PayPal or Stripe are usually idle in merchant accounts, but through encrypted payments, merchants can manage funds efficiently, and short-term gains can even offset some of the intermediate fees.

Tokio stated that although it is difficult for encrypted payments to surpass traditional payments in Japan, its advantages of no time limit, low cost and high efficiency are still obvious in cross-border payments. He pointed out that unlike many competitors that issue crypto payment cards overseas and try to cover the global market, Slash has not chosen to satisfy global native crypto users who want to avoid taxes and customer review (KYC). Instead, it has chosen to adhere to a compliance strategy and focus on the Japanese market. It is fully in line with the mature and strict local crypto licenses and consumer finance regulatory requirements. It aims to provide local companies with a safe entrance into the crypto asset field and promote the popularization of crypto currencies in Japan in the medium to long term.
