On November 29th, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba restructured the ruling party's Web3 and cryptocurrency policymaking department. According to Digital Minister Hirakami, who announced at the forum on November 27th, the Liberal Democratic Party will dissolve the existing Web3 project group (PT) and instead establish a special unit in the party's digital society promotion department, led by former Web3 PT secretary general Akahisa Shiozaki.
