日本が抱える仮想通貨の論点について
Virtual currency (or cryptocurrency) is, as the name suggests, virtual and electronic currency that exists online.
A feature of the virtual currency is that it is not a central management system like a central bank, but that it is traded by a distributed system that is secured by an encryption system.
List of virtual currency:
・ Bitcoin
・ Ethereum
・ Ripple
・ Litecoin
・ Others
The virtual currency available online is now over 1,500.
Not only for investment purposes, it is expected that the virtual currency will make the world considerably convenient. For example, when making payments using a virtual currency, you will be able to pay on the same day with a minimal fee. The virtual currency holder's privacy and the individual's currency itself are secure.
However, the Japanese government has imposed restrictions on Japanese people.
Despite the above advantages of virtual currency, Japan has the following issues.
・ High tax rate
・ The difficulty of opening a virtual currency account as Japanese
・ Bank account problem
・ Difficulty in converting to Japanese yen related to bank account
・ Difficulty of registration of virtual currency exchange business
・ Safety issues (coin check scandal etc)
In fact, there are some solutions that people all over the world know as a matter of course, but most Japanese are not aware of it at present.
For example, as a solution for ICO-related companies, the establishment of a Malta corporation or a Malta bank account is the best. Malta has become a reputable financial services center that offers a favorable tax regime, and is an attractive level for foreign investors and businesses at an international level. Companies established in Malta are in compliance with EU regulations, so corporate tax in Malta is subject to regular taxation.
