TOKYO - Digital platform operators such as Facebook, planning to launch a new global cryptocurrency called Libra, must comply with regulations on money laundering and risk management, Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya said on Friday.
While details of Facebook Inc’s cryptocurrency plan remain sketchy, central banks must be vigilant to the impact such moves could have on their country’s banking and settlement systems, he added. The project has prompted some European central bankers to claim oversight to ensure it would not jeopardize the financial system or be used to lauder money.
Rapid changes in financial innovation have also led some central banks to consider issuing digital currencies, or at least study the feasibility of doing so in the future.
