According to the nikkei, Japan's financial information provider, Fisco, will initially issue a $2.660m fund at the end of January 2018 to invest in bitcoins and other virtual currencies. In August 2017, it also issued a bitcoin bond. In the media manuscript, it announces the fund's investment strategy and objectives:

(1) purchase of bitcoins and other virtual currencies;
(2) make profits by using the difference in the prices of virtual currencies between different national exchanges. (reselling bricks)

The Japanese fund's investment model is "simply crude", compared with the investment strategy set up by the us securities and exchange commission. The ETF strategy wrote in the report on its application for registration, its investment in the proportion of COINS and other virtual currency does not exceed 25% of the total assets under management, at the same time, the body of the other will be set up to isolate this part of the risk, the remaining assets will be invested in low risk products such as Treasury bonds. But even so, the creation of etfs has not been approved.
