日本政府已正式回应滨田参议员，表示由于缺乏了解和对波动性的担忧，无意采用比特币作为其外汇储备的一部分。

As reported by a Japanese media outlet, the government of Japan, on Dec. 20, released its official answer to several queries Senator Satoshi Hamada put forward concerning the adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) as part of Japan’s foreign exchange reserves. Under the name of Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru, the statement explained that, at present, Japan has no intention of considering cryptocurrency reserves.

据日本媒体报道，12月20日，日本政府针对滨田聪议员提出的有关采用比特币（BTC）作为日本外汇储备的部分问题，发布了官方答复。该声明以首相石破茂的名义解释说，目前日本无意考虑加密货币储备。

Senator Hamada, who is a member of the Party to Protect the People from NHK, put forward a proposal for Japan to follow the example of the United States and other countries exploring BTC reserves. The government responded that it does not have enough knowledge about global movements in that respect and said that discussions on the adoption of cryptocurrencies for reserves are in very preliminary stages. That is, the government has said it would be “difficult to express a view” on this at this point.

NHK 保护人民党成员滨田参议员提出一项建议，建议日本效仿美国和其他国家探索 BTC 储备。政府回应称，它对这方面的全球动向没有足够的了解，并表示关于采用加密货币作为储备的讨论还处于非常初步的阶段。也就是说，政府表示目前对此“很难表达意见”。

The response also mentioned that, under Japan’s legal system for special account management, cryptocurrencies such as BTC do not fall under the category of foreign exchange assets. Moreover, a “crypto asset” is not regarded as a “security” pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act under Japanese law.

回复还提到，根据日本特殊账户管理的法律制度，BTC等加密货币不属于外汇资产范畴。此外，根据日本法律的《金融工具和交易法》，“加密资产”不被视为“证券”。

The Payment Services Act provides the definition of “crypto assets” and requires any provider of crypto-asset exchange service (CAES) to register with the Financial Services Agency. Operating CAES without registration entails criminal penalties, says Anderson Mori & Tomotsune, a full-service law firm in Japan.

《支付服务法》规定了“加密资产”的定义，并要求任何加密资产交易服务（CAES）提供商向金融服务局注册。日本一家提供全方位服务的律师事务所安德森·毛利·友常律师事务所 (Anderson Mori & Tomotsune) 表示，未经注册而运营 CAES 会受到刑事处罚。

Current foreign exchange reserves are intended to stabilize foreign currency-denominated assets and bond markets, and the Japanese government has emphasized that the volatility of crypto assets as it wants to prioritize safety and liquidity.

目前的外汇储备旨在稳定外币资产和债券市场，日本政府强调加密资产的波动性，希望优先考虑安全性和流动性。

Along with this, the CEO of Japanese investment bank Akihiko Ogino has suggested that Japan should introduce cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds. Although Daiwa Securities, which manages the Nikkei 225 ETF, has not disclosed any plans for a crypto-backed ETF yet, Japan’s current perspective with regard to crypto assets could delay Daiwa Securities’s ETF plans.

与此同时，日本投资银行首席执行官荻野明彦(Akihiko Ogino)建议日本应该推出加密货币交易所交易基金。尽管管理日经 225 ETF 的大和证券尚未披露任何加密货币支持 ETF 的计划，但日本目前对加密资产的看法可能会推迟大和证券的 ETF 计划。
