Politicians in Japan want a response from the G7 to China’s digital yuan
High-ranking politicians of the ruling Democratic Liberal Party (LDP), led by former economy minister Akira Amari, told reporters on Friday that Japan should share information and technical studies with the United States and other G7 members to respond to the initiative of China’s digital yuan, which could pose a serious challenge to the global supremacy of the dollar, reports Reuters.
“We live in a stable world led by dollar settlement. How should we respond if such a base collapses and if it results in a struggle for currency supremacy? ”Said Amari. As president of this year’s G7, the United States should include the digital currency in the agenda of the next group meeting, he added.

Japan, like many other countries, relies heavily on a dollar-denominated settlement system that allows its banks and businesses to conduct transactions worldwide. Some fear that the Japanese economy may face a significant disruption if developing nations start using the digital yuan instead of the dollar.
Japan court condemns man for installing crypto mining programs without consent
A Japanese court has demanded that a man who infected
website visitors with cryptocurrency mining malware face
to justice, after acquitting him.
As local news outlet The Mainichi reported on February 7, the Tokyo Superior Court overturned an earlier ruling that exempted the man, who was not named, from any crime.

The man then faced legal consequences in March 2018, but eventually avoided the punishment. At that time, lawmakers explained that the fault was not to warn him before accusing him. The Superior Court, however, disagreed.

The provision comes after the promulgation of the new Financial Services Law and the Financial Institutions Law, which entered into force on January 1. FINMA presented the revised ordinance in response to these laws, and will conduct a consultation on the follow-up regulation until April 9.
One of the key changes to the new provision is the
