See the bitcoin-themed pop group that's taking Japan by storm

- There's a new Japanese girl group called "Virtual Currency Girls" who sing about cryptocurrency.
- Each of the eight women represents a different digital currency such as bitcoin and ripple.
- They aim to educate the public in a fun way about the digital currency.
The cryptocurrency craze has taken center stage - this time, in the form of an all-female Japanese pop group. The eight women who make up the group "Virtual Currency Girls" sing songs about the digital currencies while wearing wrestling-style masks in the theme of bitcoin, ripple, and others.
Rara Naruse, the group's leader told Reuters of the money: "They're so convenient you kind of have to wonder why we didn't have them before." Each member is dressed in the color scheme of different digital currency brands, and their logos grace the front of their masks.
The band's merchandise sold at the venue can be purchased in bitcoin - along with the concert tickets. The band's salary is also paid in digital currency.
This week, bitcoin fell to a six-week low as South Korea said it planned to ban cryptocurrency trading, and reports came in that Russia could also impose stricter regulations on the sector.
