日本不會效法美國建立比特幣戰略儲備，表示加密貨幣不是外匯

日本政府明確了對比特幣的立場，正式回應了參議員濱田聰的提議。

Japan has officially responded to a proposal made by Senator Satoshi Hamada, regarding the inclusion of Bitcoin in its foreign exchange reserves. In a statement released on December 20 under Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru’s name, the government announced that it has no plans to add Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies to its reserves.

日本已正式回應參議員濱田聰提出的關於將比特幣納入其外匯存底的提案。在 12 月 20 日以首相石破茂名義發布的聲明中，政府宣布沒有計劃將比特幣或任何其他加密貨幣添加到其儲備中。

According to the statement, Japan’s decision is primarily driven by concerns over the volatility of crypto assets and a limited understanding of global trends surrounding cryptocurrency reserves. The government highlighted the purpose of foreign exchange reserves in ensuring the stability of assets and bond markets denominated in foreign currencies. It noted that crypto assets are not classified as foreign exchange assets under Japan’s regulations for special account management.

根據聲明，日本的決定主要是出於對加密資產波動性的擔憂以及對加密貨幣儲備全球趨勢的有限了解。政府強調外匯存底的角色是確保外幣資產和債券市場的穩定。它指出，根據日本特殊帳戶管理規定，加密資產不屬於外匯資產。

Senator Hamada, who is a member of the Party to Protect the People from NHK, had earlier urged Japan to follow the example of countries like the United States in exploring Bitcoin reserves. However, the government clarified that discussions on the matter are still in their early stages, making it difficult to express a definitive position. It added that Japan’s knowledge of international developments in this area is insufficient for informed decision-making.

濱田參議員是 NHK 保護人民黨的成員，他早些時候敦促日本效仿美國等國家的做法，探索比特幣儲備。不過，政府澄清稱，有關此事的討論仍處於早期階段，因此很難表達明確的立場。它補充說，日本對該領域國際發展的了解不足以做出明智的決策。

The government’s statement also touches upon Japan’s legal framework for cryptocurrencies. It notes that cryptocurrencies are not classified as securities under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Instead, Japan’s Payment Services Act provides the legal definition of “crypto assets.” The law mandates that any provider of cryptocurrency exchange services must register with the Financial Services Agency. Operating without proper registration is subject to criminal penalties, as outlined by Anderson Mori & Tomotsune, a prominent Japanese law firm.

政府的聲明也涉及日本的加密貨幣法律框架。它指出，根據《金融工具和交易法》，加密貨幣不屬於證券。相反，日本的《支付服務法》提供了「加密資產」的法律定義。該法律規定任何加密貨幣交易服務提供者都必須在金融服務局註冊。日本著名律師事務所安德森毛利友常律師事務所 (Anderson Mori & Tomotsune) 指出，未經適當註冊而進行經營將受到刑事處罰。

This official position aligns with industry perspectives on Japan’s cautious approach to cryptocurrencies. Akihiko Ogino, CEO of a leading Japanese investment bank, has suggested that Japan should consider launching cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, Daiwa Securities, which manages the Nikkei 225 ETF, has not announced any plans for a crypto-backed ETF. Japan’s current regulatory and economic outlook on crypto assets could potentially delay the introduction of such financial products.

這一官方立場符合業界對日本對加密貨幣採取謹慎態度的看法。日本一家領先投資銀行執行長荻野明彥建議日本應考慮推出加密貨幣交易所交易基金（ETF）。然而，管理日經 225 ETF 的大和證券尚未宣布任何加密貨幣支持 ETF 的計劃。日本目前對加密資產的監管和經濟前景可能會推遲此類金融產品的推出。
