The JCBA participants are planning to resume the possibility of bitcoins input-output, on August 4, 2017 (16:00 GMT+9). At the same time, the association's statement says that the timeline of the action plan is not final and may vary depending on the situation.
It is noteworthy that the leading Japanese exchange bitFlyer is not on the list of participants of the association.

However, as the Japanese edition notes, the official statement from representatives of bitFlyer regarding preparations for a possible separation of the blockchain of bitcoin is expected this week.
We would like to remind you, that, on Tuesday, the three largest Chinese crypto-exchanges (Huobi, BTCC and OKCoin) reported on measures to prepare for possible hardfork in the network bitcoin.
