🇯🇵 Japan Moves to Crack Down on Crypto Insider Trading

[cryptobro]

Japan’s Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission (SESC) is reportedly planning to introduce regulations targeting crypto insider trading, aligning digital asset rules with traditional stock markets. The SESC would gain authority to investigate suspicious trades, issue fines proportional to profits, and refer serious cases for criminal prosecution.

Currently, crypto falls outside Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, leaving gaps in oversight. The move comes as Japan’s crypto user base has quadrupled over the past five years to nearly 8 million. Regulators aim to submit a formal amendment next year.
