Financial Services Agency (Japan) regulator
Overview
Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) oversees crypto-asset businesses as the country's financial regulator. The Payment Services Act has been the primary framework for crypto assets, covering exchange registration, client asset custody, stablecoin issuance and anti-money-laundering measures. The FSA is planning to transition crypto-asset oversight to the more stringent Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, which would introduce insider-trading prohibitions and disclosure requirements; stablecoins would stay under the Payment Services Act, while NFTs would typically be excluded. Additionally, the FSA has put forward mandatory cybersecurity standards for crypto exchanges.
