⚖️ Crypto Joins the FIEA: Japan Tightens Investor Protections

[cryptobro]

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is pushing to bring crypto under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, shifting regulation from the Payments Services Act. The move seeks to strengthen investor protections, tackle unregistered operations, scams, and inaccurate disclosures, and align crypto rules with securities law.

The SESC will work with a dedicated task force to define insider trading penalties and enforcement procedures by the end of 2025, marking a major step toward institutional-grade oversight in Japan’s booming crypto market.
