The Japanese financial regulator, the Financial Services Agency (FSA), no longer wants to describe Bitcoin as a virtual currency. During the plenary session of the 41st General Assembly of the Financial Council and the 29th Meeting of the Financial Division, Professor Iwashita Goto from the Public Policy Graduate School of Kyoto University asked the members to adjust their views on Bitcoin. The largest cryptocurrency, he claimed, became more than a way to deal, because of its boundless qualities that led her to appear all over the world in her ten-year history. "I do not think it's worth being called Bitcoin virtual currency" - he concluded.

Comments appear while Japan continues to formalize its domestic cryptocurrency industry. Following the introduction of incentive regulations, the FSA began issuing licenses to new cryptocurrency markets that want to serve the Japanese market.
