Panel Calls for Placing Crypto Assets under Financial Instruments Law
Nippon | English | News | Nov. 28, 2025 | Regulation
A working group of Japan's Financial System Council has broadly approved a draft report proposing that crypto assets be regulated under the financial instruments and exchange law. This shift aims to prevent insider trading, curb illegal asset outflows, and enhance user protection as crypto assets gain popularity as investment products.
Currently, crypto assets are regulated under the payment services law as a means of settlement. The Financial Services Agency plans to submit a bill to revise the financial instruments and exchange law during the 2026 ordinary Diet session.
The draft report highlights the need to strengthen measures against insider trading of crypto assets, suggesting that such unfair transactions should be investigated by the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission. It also recommends establishing a fine system to enforce compliance.
