Abstract

The Blockchain technology could represent a solution to unexpected problems. In modern society, the domain of value has become diversified. The Crypto currency would replace the area that conventional currency could not function. The Japanese government recognized the Bitcoin as an official currency from April 2017 through amendment of the Money Transfer Act in 2016, and has been leading the related regulation policy recently. This paper examines the policy strategy of the Japanese government that is leading the current policy related to the Crypto currency market. The sequence of this paper is as follows: Coordination Process of Japanese Government's Crypto currency Policy of Special Mission Committee on IT Strategy as a Coordinator, Amendment of the Fund Settlement Act and the Establishment of a Self-Regulation Organizations in Crypto currency and Japan's Crypto currency Taxation and Supplementary System.

블록체인(Blockchain) 기술은 예기치 않은 문제에 대한 해결책을 제시 할 수 있다. 현대 사회에서 가치 영역은 다양 해지고 있다. 암호화폐는 기존 통화가 작동하지 못했던 영역을 대체하고 있다. 일본 정부는 2017년 4 월부터 2016년까지 송금 법 개정을 통해 암호화폐 대표코인인 비트코인(Bitcoin)을 공식 통화로 인정하고 최근 관련 규제 정책을 주도 해 왔다. 이 논문은 암호화폐 통화 시장과 관련하여 국제사회에서 정책을 주도하고 있는 일본 정부의 정책 전략을 검토한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 IT전략특명소위원회가 일본 정부의 암호화폐 관련 정책 및 제도를 조정해 나아가는 과정과 기구의 역할을 분석하였다. 더불어 일본 내에서 암호화폐 및 블록체인 관련 세재의 개정 및 규제 조직의 수립 과정 그리고 관련한 보충 제도에 대해 고찰하였다.
