“The Bank of Japan is ‘very interested’ in the online virtual currency Bitcoin, Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said Friday. The central bank’s Institute of Monetary and Economic Studies is studying it, Kuroda said at a regular news conference. ‘Compared with traditional ways of money transfers and existing electronic money, Bitcoin has both similar and different aspects,’ Kuroda said. Central banks around the world are closely watching Bitcoin, the value of which has been swinging wildly due to speculative trading. The BOJ currently has no plans to take action on the situation surrounding Bitcoin, Kuroda said.”
