Japanese Lawmakers and Crypto Project

Cryptocurrencies became more popular as more people are willing to invest in various crypto-related projects. Moreover, even central banks decided to learn more about this emerging technology. Japan is a technologically advanced country. Thus, it has the opportunity to develop its national crypto currency.

Last week, Japanese lawmakers submitted a proposal to the Japanese government. A group of Japanese lawmakers asked the government to create Japan’s digital currency.  According to the information, 70 politicians from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party worked on the proposals. Former economy minister Akira Amari is the leader of this group.

Norihiro Nakayama commented on this topic. He said that China’s digital yuan would challenge the existing global reserve currency system.

Nakayama also mentioned another challenge for the central bank. According to Nakayama, Libra may undermine the monetary policy of the central bank. In this situation, national crypto money should counter problems such as Libra and China’s digital currency.
