Against the background of strong growth in the number of holders cryptocurrency Coincheck Tokyo Stock Exchange has introduced an innovative service for owners of Bitcoin - deposit accounts with a fixed interest rate.
For example, given four cryptocurrency owners plan on deposits for 14 days under 1% per annum for 30 days at 2% per annum for 90 days under 3% per annum for 1 year at 5%. Thus, if the holder cryptocurrency invest 100 Bitcoins for a year, he can earn 5 Bitcoins per year.
At the same time, the Agency for Financial Services Japan (FCA) said that this exchange service is not subject to the rules that regulate banking activities in Japan as cryptocurrency is not legal tender. But, most likely, if the number of holders cryptocurrency will grow even more and he gets even more speed, then this kind of services will be subject to state regulation.
