[LDP lawmakers discuss clearer crypto property rights in Japan]

A blockchain-focused caucus of lawmakers from Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party held a meeting today to discuss regulatory improvements including clearer property rights for cryptocurrencies, CoinPost reported.

Yuzo Kano, the JBA’s representative, argued that cryptocurrencies held directly by individuals through private keys lack a clear legal character and should be defined as electronic property rights. Seiji Kihara, head of the lawmakers’ caucus, said revising relevant laws could take time and Japan plans to first improve rules tied to securities custody and investment trusts.
