Japan Will Simplify

Even if the effects of the collapse of FTX are still being felt, Japan is loosening the rules on crypto token listing.

Despite the dire state of the cryptocurrency market and the collapse of FTX, the government of Japan has chosen to make it simpler for cryptocurrency exchanges to offer their products there.

Japan is easing strict crypto laws even as the impacts of FTX's collapse are still being felt throughout the cryptosphere and beyond.

The economic policy of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's administration is developing the Web3 industry. In order to support business owners in this sector, he will likely revise corporation taxes in the next year.

The organisation that oversees cryptocurrency exchanges reportedly alerted member companies of the new rule on Wednesday, December 28, according to documents obtained by report. If the tokens aren't entirely new to the Japanese market, the rule permits them to list coins without having to go through a time-consuming pre-screening process.

Japan's regulations

One of the most advanced regulatory systems for cryptocurrencies is found in Japan. Bitcoin and other virtual assets are recognised as legitimate property under the Payment Services Act (PSA). This legislation mandates that cryptocurrency exchanges in Japan register and follow common Anti Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) requirements. The National Tax Agency determined in 2017 to classify cryptocurrency earnings as "miscellaneous income." Accordingly, the buyers should be compensated.

Cryptocurrency Exchange Regulations

Exchanges are permitted in Japan, however following a number of high-profile thefts, notably the Coin check robbery, a theft of 530 USD million in digital currency, crypto rules have become of national significance. Trading and exchange regulations are being more strictly enforced by the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA).

In Japan, laws governing bitcoin exchanges are changing. Only companies with a highly competent Financial Bureau are authorised to operate as bitcoin exchanges, in keeping with Japan's progressive position. Under the PSA, this is. Exchanges that can show they have met an equal registration criterion in their host nation are authorised to operate.
