A Japanese blockchain consortium<\/strong> grew very fast and now it includes more than\u00a01 hundred members<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Membership of this Blockchain Collaborative Consortium (BCCC)<\/strong>\u00a0grew since its creation back in\u00a0April 2016.<\/p>\n

BCCC memberhip includes Japan Microsoft<\/strong>, Infoteria<\/strong>,\u00a0Mitsui Sumotomo Insurance<\/strong>, PwC<\/strong>, Bitbank<\/strong>, ConsenSys<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n

Also, the Japanese Blockchain Consortium announced that the\u00a0100th\u00a0student from its Blockchain University program had\u00a0successfully graduated \u2013 signal that the BCC’s plan to improve knowledge about the distributed ledger is\u00a0succeeding.<\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a>\u00a0revealed today, the\u00a0founder and CEO of Infoteria,\u00a0Pina Hirano<\/strong>, explained that the Japanese Blockchain University is the only one of its kind<\/strong> within the country. He said:<\/p>\n

\n

“While the world related to FinTech and block chains is moving at a rapid pace, BCCC will add new members’ power and make activities more active so that domestic movements will not be delayed.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hirano suggested the total Japanese Blockchain consortium members are 109, but at the moment the BCCC website only lists 101, so maybe\u00a0more members will be announced in the near future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Japanese blockchain growth<\/h2>\n

During the last few months Japan\u00a0has been characterized by its interest and study of the blockchain.<\/p>\n

In November Ripple launched its own blockchain consortium with more than 40 banks with the goal of building a network to conduct cross-border payments.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Also, in December the Mizuho Financial Group, Inc., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and other banks helped Deloitte Japan for a blockchain test and research about inter-bank payments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Despite the test, Japan faced a shortage of blockchain developers<\/strong>, as reported by Reuters.<\/p>\n

To solve this problem within the country, the BCCC graduated two classes of students<\/strong> with 8 courses each, including \u201cpractical training\u201d, \u201cfoundation of blockchain technology\u201d with lessons about the bitcoin blockchain. \u00a0More classes will be added next month, but unfortunately this consotium blockchain class is only conducted in Japanese language<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
