Abstract:
Professor Beitman of the Australian National University, known worldwide for his research on currency law, visits Japan and has requested to hold a symposium at Waseda University together with Japanese researchers and students who are also interested in the issue of currency. With the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) expected within a few years and the spread of crypto assets and stable coins, it is time to rethink currency from a legal perspective. This symposium, which will be held primarily in English, will focus on the question, “How do we think about currency from a legal perspective?” Let’s think and discuss together in this symposium about “How to think about currency legally?”
