According to CoinMeta, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Toshihiro stated that the government should use the additional profits obtained from the Bank of Japan's accelerated sale of exchange-traded funds (ETF) to invest in areas that are crucial to Japan's "economic security." He mentioned that the extra profits from the sale of (ETF) are a result of Japan's economic growth, and these funds should be reinvested in crisis management and growth-promoting measures to create a virtuous cycle that further drives economic expansion. A week earlier, the Bank of Japan announced plans to accelerate the sale of (ETF) starting from January next year, with the annual sales volume to increase from 330 billion yen to 860 billion yen (approximately 5.4 billion US dollars). It is estimated that accelerating the sales pace could result in an additional 800 billion yen being handed over to the government by the Bank of Japan each year.
