BOJ to begin full-scale research on digital currency Joint Research Group established January 21 22:14

The Bank of Japan has begun full-scale research on digital currency. He has established joint research groups with five central banks, including the European Central Bank and the Bank of England.

In terms of digital currency, China is preparing to issue a "digital renminbi," and Facebook in the United States has plans to issue a digital asset called "libra," a digital coin.

The Bank of Japan seems to be aiming to rush to respond in view of these movements.
