“Japan’s chief government spokesman and a member of the central bank’s policy board said authorities were looking into the regulation of bitcoin, a day after Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox shut its website and halted trading. Compared with regulators in many other advanced economies, Japanese regulators have been relatively silent on bitcoin.
