At Hokuto Trading Co., Ltd., we have developed a fintech platform designed to simplify cross-border trade transactions for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Japan. Our platform leverages advanced blockchain technology to offer secure and transparent procedures for invoicing, payment processing, and shipping logistics, specifically tailored for SMEs navigating the complexities of international trade. The demand for our product has been robust; we have onboarded over 500 SMEs since our soft launch last year and processed approximately $10 million in transactions to date.
