Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ confirmed on Tuesday it is conducting experiments on a digital currency utilizing the technology behind the virtual currency bitcoin.

The statement came following a report from the Asahi Shimbun newspaper last week that the bank will soon issue a virtual currency that will be available next year.

"Regarding the speculation (in) media reports, these reports are not based on any announcement by MUFG, and the details have not been decided," the bank's spokesman said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
