    In Japan, digital currency is commonly referred to as "kōza" (口座) which translates to "account" in English. This term is often used to describe various types of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. So, if you hear someone in Japan talking about kōza, they are most likely referring to digital currencies.

    The Japanese term commonly used for digital currency is "kabuka" (株価). It's interesting to note that kabuka actually means "stock price" in Japanese. However, in the context of digital currency, it has become a popular term to refer to cryptocurrencies. So, if you come across the term kabuka in Japan, it's likely that they are talking about digital currencies.

    In Japan, the commonly used term for digital currency is "virtual currency" (バーチャル通貨). This term is widely understood and used by both the general public and industry professionals. Many Japanese exchanges, including BYDFi, use this term when discussing cryptocurrencies. So, if you're in Japan and want to talk about digital currencies, using the term virtual currency would be the most appropriate.
