It's currently being discussed. I'm pretty sure you guys reported on it too.
Discussion
Sure I hear you. I hope it happens. I doubt there is the political will to do so
I generally agree, but this seems like it's actually going to happen.
Why do you think so?
Just from what I've read. I don't know for certain though, it's so hard to find reliable information.
I hope it goes down like that. Iām less optimistic on the folks steering the ship being able to make that decision
Was due to report on it again this week but we had to cut it for time. Discussions are being reported in the Nikkei and looks like we'll get 20% next year. There will be a give and take but their focus seems to be on regulating the exchanges around insider trading and disclosure so it's very "Web3" focussed which is revealing of how out of touch the Japanese regulators still are. Fingers crossed there is no nonsense like restrictions on self custody or else registering public keys with the authorities etc.
Yeah, it seemed to me like it's going to happen. It's still too little too late and won't do anything for the sinking ship of an economy here, but I'll take it.
This was released yesterday... Basically says they're forming a working group to discuss things. Typical, but at least it's in the right direction:

By the way, do you have a link to what you saw in Nikkei recently?
