Japan is on the list of those states whose central banks plan to issue national cryptos (CBDC) in the coming years.
In early April, the Bank of Japan launched the first round of digital yen testing. It will end by early March 2022.
During the second stage of testing, the regulator plans to involve local financial institutions, including banks and investment companies.
The central bank of Japan is urging regulators in developed countries to forming a unified regulatory framework for the CBDC.

According to Kazushige Kamiyama, head of the Central Bank's Department of Payments and Settlements, with the help of a unified regulatory framework, the G7 will be able to control cross-border capital transfers in tokens.
The launch of national digital currencies will accelerate the modernization of the global payment infrastructure.
The official told reporters: "The Bank of Japan should discuss general rules with six other major central banks."
