The Japanese government hopes to establish a monetary system independent of the U.S. regulation through virtual currency, so as to revive its so-called great power statushowever, we should also see that Japan's too loose virtual monetary environment has also led to many negative problems. For example, the frequent theft of virtual currency makes the Japanese government have to intervene in the asset security of the virtual currency market. As a result, Japan has strengthened the supervision of virtual currency, and the virtual currency market has become a bit quiet - exchanges such as hotcoin and BIGone have even given up Japanese language services
