He said that the future crypto will be built according to transparency and simplicity in use. When it comes to time frames, he expects that Mitsubishi crypto is to be launched this year, in a period between September and December.
The negotiations on this crypto have been conducted since 2015. At that time there were only some minimal data on the project, and it was announced that a crypto working on blockchain network would be designed for processing peer transactions.
Nevertheless, the cryptographic part went to the background, and there were no details concerning the date of launch.” MUFG is planning to develop more crypto projects.
MUFG has been interested in digital currencies and crypto projects for long time already. Last year it played an important role for providing investment round amounting to $14 million on security token based on Coinbase.
As for its own Mitsubishi crypto, the project has been kept confidential for too long. There were also rumors about launching in 2018 and 2019 but nothing concrete was reported until this moment. However, this time MUFG President has reassured that the development is to be finished by the end of 2020.
As regards MUFG, we can expect more from it than just a Mitsubishi crypto. A solution for retail payments based on smartphones and supported by the upcoming stablecoin is also in designing. In general, digital currencies will soon become an integral part of Japanese economy.
