Japan PM not ready to talk about Bitcoin national reserve
The Prime Minister of Japan says his government currently lacks enough information about the United States and other countries’ plans for a Bitcoin strategic reserve to determine whether Japan should implement one.
According to a Dec. 26 report from local media outlet CoinPost, Japan’s prime minister Shigeru Ishiba said that he does not have enough understanding of the “movements” by countries like the US and others regarding adopting Bitcoin $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ $BTC Digital (BTCT.US)$ reserves.
“It is difficult for the government to express its views,” Ishiba said.
Japanese government rep said Japan should follow the USA
The response came after a question from Satoshi Hamada, a member of the House of Councilors of the Party to Protect the People from NHK, on Japan’s “movement of introducing Bitcoin reserves that the United States and other countries are proceeding with.”
“I think Japan should follow the example of the United States and consider turning some of its foreign exchange reserves into crypto assets such as Bitcoin,” Hamada said.
Ishiba said that crypto assets do not fall under the foreign exchange category.
Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike, believes Donald Trump will likely issue an executive order on his first day in office to designate Bitcoin as a US reserve asset.
More recently, Brazil Congressman Eros Biondini proposed a bill in Brazil to establish a sovereign federal Bitcoin Reserve.
The bill was introduced on Nov. 25 and seeks the creation of a Sovereign Strategic Bitcoin Reserve known as RESBit.
Japan presents stablecoin promise
On Sept. 8, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said he anticipates strong demand for a Japanese yen stablecoin.
“People will want to hold yen stablecoins, and I think that is only a matter of time,” Garlinghouse said in an interview with Bloomberg’s The China Show on Sept. 7.
Garlinghouse explained that while he finds Japan to be a “conservative market in some ways,” he also sees the market as “really healthy” in other respects.
He explained that, compared to other countries, Japan has “leaned in” on offering regulatory clarity and legislation on stablecoins and cryptocurrencies.
