Bank of Japan ready for PoC Phase 2: plans to implement more complex functions of CBDC
Executive Director of Bank of Japan (BoJ) Uchida Shinichi talked about the digital yen, the central bank's digital currency in Japan, and future plans for it. He spoke at the third meeting of the Liaison and Coordination Committee on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which followed the second meeting in October 2021.
Bank of Japan enters PoC Phase 2
In his speech, the Director of the Bank of Japan talked about the onset of Proof-of-Concept Phase 2 "wherein the Bank plans to implement more complex, additional functions of CBDC to the core functions explored in Phase 1 and investigate their technical feasibility and challenges." After the completion of the PoC, the bank will pilot the digital yen which will include merchants and businesses.The Director also said that the Bank of Japan plans to bring such a CBDC ecosystem that would "avoid overlapping investment in the non-competitive field, and foster an environment where they can innovate and compete while ensuring interoperability," as per the official remarks. He further added:
"As potential designs for an ecosystem, we could assume a structure where the central bank issues a CBDC as a public good, and private businesses allow end-users to use CBDC with their own overlay services. We could also assume a structure where CBDC is circulated through various infrastructures or platforms developed by private businesses."He also pointed out that the Japanese people will decide if the government needs to roll out a CBDC and not the Bank alone. The ecosystem should have no signs of vulnerability and should be robust.
CBDC will not be used to achieve negative interest rates
The Bank of Japan Director also stated that the idea to achieve a negative interest rate in order to combat rising inflation levels "is sometimes discussed in academia" but the Bank will not issue if at all, a CBDC on this ground."It is unlikely that such a motivation would be supported by the general public. Furthermore, such a remuneration functionality would be operationally unrealistic while cash still exists," the BoJ official revealed.On the other hand, Japanese firms continue their expansion into the crypto domain as recently, Cryptonary noted that LINE, the largest social media application in the nation, plans to release an NFT collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
