This can be considered a substantive step taken by the Japanese government in the stablecoin sector, rather than just watching from the sidelines.

I hope this batch of support can produce a few real cases that successfully implement a business model, and not end up as just empty talk.

Compared to other countries, Japan's move is more conservative but solid, consistent with their usual style.
