“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. But Wednesday morning, Japan’s top government spokesman, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, said the government was looking into the matter, collecting information through the Financial Services Agency, the Ministry of Finance and the police.”
