After Paypal announced in joining cryptocurrency, Toyota a giant company and one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world based in Toyota City, Aichi Japan released their official statement last October 26, 2020, that they will be launching its own digital currency. https://crypto.co/news/toyota-it-division-to-launch-own-digital-currency/

What are your thoughts on this huge move from the giant companies? And what will be next?

I just get the feeling we are on the right path of adoption and soon all big brands will be investing in crypto and also their own branded coins, this simply means that crypto market will be in trillions in few years.

Cryptocurrency adoption is becoming a trend nowadays, from the giant private companies now Banks are adopting cryptocurrency also. Just recently I have read that 100 banks from Italy move to Blockchain and just recently Iran amended their law to adopt Bitcoin as payment for imports https://crypto.co/news/iran-amended-law-to-adopt-bitcoin-as-payment-for-imports/. This must be exciting.

It is good to see a well known company start to using digital currency especially cryptocurrency for their own products.
Now we should know about the purpose of the digital currency, whether it is going to be used for buying, or repairing the products or something else. There might be many people buy their own digital currency if the information given is complete.

Toyota first explore and engage themselves in blockchain, and now will launch their own digital currency. Its a good move considering they are a big company, however this plan is exclusive and will only be beneficial to their employees.

Nevertheless the fact that Toyota is now adopting blockchain and making their own digital currency it can be a start for other companies to do the same. If this happens bitcoin and alts will gain popularity because it has somehow an impact for crypto to be known.

If this is going to be teal then it is a nice news. Toyota is already a trusted name and big brand. I expect that there token won't be fake or plagiarized white paper, there project should be in list of

It will be a comprehensive whitepaper if they will release one. Not just a substandard, copy-cat whitepaper. But this news is really very welcome in the crypto community. The move of PayPal will really give confidence to other big companies to follow thru. We will expect more popular companies to integrate blockchain technology or create their own cryptocurrency in the next coming years. They are now realizing that digital currency has benefits on their operations.

IMHO it's HYPE and FOMO.
If you don't have your own blockchain, you're being laughed at in your 1% country club.
Gotta realize most of these will be a trial and error cases, meaning they'll make it, see there's no use of it, and then dump the project

It could be still a trial stage consider that's the first time for the IT team of toyota to build its private blockchain to be used on its company's ecosystem. it will be also an experimental that will need a lot of time to make sure the blockchain will be working accordingly.

I doubt if that's hype because some countries have even used blockchain for the verification-health system.

Paypal going to release a token of their own but this token might not be in the exchange or probably a stablecoin too. There is no information yet about the token to be created. Toyota token is also not for public use but only for their own company. The news is I guess just to hype to pump BTC. Companies today are only testing blockchain technology in preparation for the adoption.

I first thought that Toyota was launching a digital currency for General use, but after reading the article, I realized that this step was made to increase the welfare of its employees. And this digital currency is regarded as a bonus program, not a salary. We can assume that if this experiment is successful, other campaigns will follow the same path.

Everyone need to understand it clearly. The digital currency from Toyota is developed with the collaboration of a cryptocurrency exchange Decurret.

The main objective of creating the cryptocurrency is digital currency payments for the benefits of its employees. Along with the same, employees preferring the digital currency has got the access to trade and invest. So, this isn't a big thing in the global market of cryptocurrency. For some reason we can expect more automobile manufacturers developing their own cryptocurrency for payments.

When I see well known institution proposing a new Coin, I want to be careful with it. Hyundai came with a coin (HDAC) we later detected it was from the son of the company owner, the coin has so far not attain the ICO price in the market with terrible tokenomics. They understand what their Identity can fetch them to make huge fund from the crowdsale. It is very important to understand the use case and possible of being successful, they are likely to attract a large community but for how long, why cant they start with the known coin like the bitcoin and ethereum to generate the use case.

This is more of a great news for the blockchain world and not for crypto world, which normally sounds like they are the same thing but they are not the same thing at all. Nowadays there are many blockchain companies and they do allow people to actually make a development or a software and they sell that to others for use, there is no token or coin needed or even if there is it is just for show and not for monastery reasons, it is more like a server that is online for them, an improved version of cloud computing, and not something to trade.

So, this is more like that and I believe before Toyota, there should be a lot of banks and other financial companies that needs to check blockchain tech, it would help them decrease costs a lot and would allow them to be faster and more organized.

This is such good news. The Japanese always know how to surprise the world. Even if the currency of Toyota's IT division doesn't much affect the whole cryptocurrency market, it makes more sense that JP Morgan's digital currency. It will trigger a currency race between big companies and hence, enhance blockchain adoption.

I think if it's Toyota, there will be more company will follow them. atleast one of the zaibatsu in Japan, and yes it will make japanese compete more on blockchain technology

This can be one of the best developments for Toyota because they are a car sales platform that has many branches around the world so that when they create their own coins it will provide the best solution for the process of transferring funds to 1 shelter and can provide solutions for buyers who want use coins when buying cars from other countries.

i know toyota but what does i.t mean on toyota i.t division . that means thier web platform ? where they accept orders and other nquiries online within thier website ? thats still lit because toyota was a big company in the car field . they are realy inspired on what paypal did and now they follow its footsteps . the coin are going to be useful if you are a fan of toyota and you own a car or will be planning to get a car to them because you can enjoy perks but non toyota enthusiats can still buy a coin only for investment purpose alone .

Just to be clear, this is Toyota's own digital currency, meaning it's going to for their used only and not for everyone, or to make it more clearer, for Toyota City, Aichi Japan. So there will be no effect on crypto market. But it's good to hear that big companies are moving to blockchain technology and that is the positive impact of it. And I think this is just a pilot test and could be deploy to Toyota worldwide so the only one that will get the full benefit is the company itself.

This signifies that the experts and technicians involved there believes blockchain based crypto are the best form of currency (value vouchers). They are easy and quick and there are no problems like faking currency or any costs involved in printing and reprinting bills. The supply and flow of the currency could also be easily monitored by the central authority and if they have specific address assigned to people, they'd know whom the money is going from whom. That's both fascinating and scary.

So far they are the first one that will create one for a private company, and if this become successful, many big and small companies will follow, and this is a good introduction to people who do not know anything about Cryptocurrency but working on companies that has his this kind of incentives for their workers. This could be a start of something big.

I am really surprised to see that a company as big as Toyota is interested in making its own digital currency for the benefit of its employees. If blockchain will be used then it is not different from creating a new coin and this coin will be used internally within the company only. With this experiment, we will not see the effect and other things people will experience in using the said digital currency and that will catapult many more companies in making their own coins and spread it within their own community.

Did the official source from Toyota say about this? Many opinions have been developed about crypto, but no official sources tell the truth. Toyota has a website, but I checked it, there was no news about digital currency.

the official source did it and you can now try to check it here https://www.toyotasystems.com/news/upload/2020/10/23d3a4d59616c11d578285606d04b83eb8b30588.pdf

That's an official announcement about that. It seems like the IT team of toyota has started to developed the digital currency. More digital currency will come very soon. I believe another company will be doing it too.
