About Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin (BTC) is the original cryptocurrency, launched in January 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto as the first decentralized digital currency. It operates on a proof-of-work blockchain maintained by miners who compete to validate transactions and earn block rewards. Bitcoin's total supply is capped at 21 million coins, with approximately every four years the mining reward halving in what is called a 'halving event' — a deflationary monetary policy that has attracted institutional investors treating Bitcoin as digital gold. The network processes transactions through the Lightning Network for fast small-value payments and on-chain for larger settlements. Bitcoin pioneered blockchain technology and remains the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Major institutional adoption includes corporate treasuries holding BTC as a reserve asset, and Bitcoin spot ETFs approved in early 2024 providing regulated access for traditional investors.
About Japanese Yen (¥)
The Japanese Yen (JPY) was the largest fiat for Bitcoin trading in 2017-2018 (peaking at 40% of global BTC volume) and remains a major Asian crypto on-ramp. Japan was the first major economy to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender for payment purposes via the Payment Services Act amendments effective April 2017. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan licenses Crypto Asset Exchange Service Providers (CAESPs) — major JPY exchanges include bitFlyer (Japan's largest by volume), Coincheck (owned by Monex), GMO Coin, Bitbank, DMM Bitcoin, and Liquid (post-FTX wind-down). After the Mt. Gox collapse (Tokyo, February 2014, ~850,000 BTC lost) and the Coincheck NEM hack (January 2018, $530M stolen), Japan implemented strict customer-asset segregation and cold-storage requirements. Japan does not currently host any USD-stablecoin issuers but is developing yen-pegged stablecoins under the revised Payment Services Act (2023) — Japan's first regulated JPY stablecoin (JPYC) launched in March 2024 from Mitsubishi UFJ Trust + GU Technologies.
