A newly-appointed financial regulator in Japan said this week that introducing laws and regulations for Bitcoin trading would impede technical innovation while supporting purely speculative gains, according to <\/span>Reuters<\/i><\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin laws promote speculation<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ryozo Himino, the regulator, cautioned the parliament over announcing new laws that ultimately promote cryptocurrency trading. He argued that doing so reduces technical innovation in favor of short-term gains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tokyo should instead focus on efforts toward issuing central bank digital currencies (CBDC), as the coronavirus pandemic could speed up the arrival of a cash-less society, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japanese regulators have, in the past months, <\/span>discussed a digital Yen<\/a><\/strong>, unveiled a new fund for blockchain development, and proposed new laws for the cryptocurrency market. One Tokyo senator even <\/span>stated<\/a><\/strong> in May that the two technologies will help promote economic growth in Japan as it battles the <\/span>ill-effects of the coronavirus pandemic<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But not all are on board with the sentiment, especially not Himino. He told the publication:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeregulating bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies may not necessarily promote technical innovation if doing so simply increases speculative trading.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added Japan was, similarly, not thinking of taking special steps to promote cryptocurrencies, despite earlier reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under Japan\u2019s chair, the G20 \u2014 a consortium of major economies that liaises on macro-economic issues \u2014 said last year they would set strict regulations on cryptocurrencies. These included Facebook\u2019s Libra, which threatened to \u201cundermine\u201d the efforts of fiat currencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Develop a Japanese CBDC, says regulator<\/b><\/h2>\n

Despite his comments, Himino remains big on state-issued digital currencies. He welcomed Bank of Japan\u2019s recent efforts to speed up research on CBDCs, adding that it should hold great promise to solve various challenges in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

As CryptoSlate <\/span>reported<\/a><\/strong> last month, Japan\u2019s central bank \u2014 the Bank of Japan (BoJ) \u2014 confirmed it had created a new division to research and study the issuance of digital currency.<\/span><\/p>\n

The move marked the first government-backed development in terms of digital asset developments. However, it came as Japan\u2019s private sector has both adopted and brought in a vibrant crypto-focussed environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three Japanese megabanks \u2014 Mizuho Bank, MUFG Bank, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp \u2014 currently offer crypto services to clients or have conducted their independent studies on a yen-based stablecoin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month, Nomura, another Tokyo-based conglomerate, launched its Bitcoin custodial services<\/a> for accredited investors in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
