最新报道:Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is set to regulate cryptocurrencies under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA), shifting from the current Payment Services Act. This move aims to impose stricter disclosure rules, enhance investor protections, and extend securities enforcement to crypto trading. With over 12 million active accounts and ¥5 trillion in deposits on domestic exchanges, the reform targets rampant fraud and unregistered solicitations. Penalties include fines up to ¥500 million and prison terms. The change aligns Japan with global regulatory trends, including the EU's MiCA and U.S. oversight efforts.
