Japan has become one of the largest markets in the world for cryptocurrencies. Trading in bitcoin-Japanese yen accounted for about 57.6 percent of total bitcoin trading volume, according to CryptoCompare.
Japanese authorities recognized bitcoin as legal tender last April and require cryptocurrency exchanges to register with the government. Sixteen exchanges have done so, March 7, reported by FuninUSA.
Hong Kong-based Binance was operating in Japan through the internet without a license for a virtual currency exchange. Recently, Japan’s Financial Services Agency issued a warning Friday to major cryptocurrency exchange Binance for operating without registration in the country.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao confirmed receipt of the warning, tweeting: "Our lawyers called JFSA immediately, and will find a solution.” Reported in FuninUSA, Zhao has once expressed that the company tried to get a license in Japan but has decided to remove its staff from its office.
Bitcoin traded 3.4 percent lower near $8,417, according to CoinDesk at 10:20 a.m. ET. As you know, this price is nearly half the price when bitcoin hit its highest price last year.
With the stricter regulation of cryptocurrency, what do you think is the trend of bitcoin price? Also, what’s the possibility that bitcoin would become a prevalent method of payment?
