We are an independent Reserveum group. We want to find out if it is possible to create an ideal non-inflationary currency. Right now we are discussing the flaws of existing stablecoins and would like to hear your opinions and ideas.Today we are discussing: Japan is Discussing a Law on Restricted Stableco in EmissionsThe Financial Services Agency in Japan (FSA) announced to have started working on a project to restrict stablecoin issuing by banks and payments services providers. Nikkei Asia shared this news with a reference to reliable sources.
The initiative is directly tied to the launching of a detailed project of digital yen. The Circle company announced launching a token tied down to yen back in November. Other stablecoins are seen as competitives to the digital yen, so they are going to see harsh restrictions.
The FSA project will also apply to digital wallets operators. Just as the stablecoin issuers, they will have to identify their users' personal data and share the information on suspicious transactions to prevent money laundering.
Stablecoin issuers that do not comply with the new FSA rules will no longer be allowed to continue working in Japan. One of such companies is Tether issuer.
The digital yen launch in Japan is planned for the end of 2022. The project is run by a committee of 74 companies each of which took part in testing the new government cryptocurrency.
Last week the Minister for Economic Security in Japan Takayuki Kobayashi called for rushing the launch of the digital yen since China is already gone very far down this road.
What is your opinion on the new Japanese stablecoin? Do you think government stablecoins have a chance?
