Japanese Crypto Coin J-Coin Is On The Way
Japanese banks are hoping to dispatch their own particular advanced money called the J-Coin to wean buyers off money.
Mizuho Financial Group is one of the organizations initiating the move.

The Financial Times announced Tuesday that a consortium of banks including Japan Post Bank was included and that the J-Coin would dispatch in time for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. The Mizuho representative declined to remark on the association of different banks or the timetable.
In any case, the representative revealed to CNBC that there hasn't been any endorsement from controllers yet and gave more points of interest on the plans for the advanced cash.
"This will be pegged with Japanese Yen, and ideally used to make installments and exchanges through a cell phone application," the bank said.
Mizuho has been investigating the advanced money space for as far back as couple of months.

Blockchain is a circulated record framework that guarantees to reform many procedures everywhere monetary establishments, for example, cash exchanges and exchange back, for instance.

Not long ago, bitcoin was legitimized as a lawful installment technique in Japan and expansive retailers started tolerating the cryptographic money. Yet, money is still vigorously utilized as a part of Japan. The J-Coin could be an approach to wean Japanese society off of money.
I'm a little sceptical about central banks issuing their own currency backed crytos. It worries me because i think it will have a negative effect on bitcoin because think about it, why will central banks (gov'ts)accept an anonymous currency as super currency when they can create their own crypto they can track?@tech-trends what are your thoughts?#discussion
well when these banks make their own coins chances are they will also make their own exchanges and also there are chances that they will create an FUD that people will have to use their exchange now if the people want to use their exchange they will have to provide their details like Social Security no. etc and so they would be able to keep track of you and maybe in the future they can put taxes on cryptos
My point is that Government can track of people, but taxes on cryptos is not possible, because they don't have control. Cryptos are doing the work without the approval of government. May be I am wrong, but i am thinking in this way.
Anything legal is taxable ... if people do trading in the government exchanges and when they covert it to fiat then the Gov can put tax on it ...
