Japan’s FSA Eyes Stricter Regulations on Crypto Disclosures to Boost Investor Protection and Support ETF Prospects
10/2/2025
Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is exploring new regulations that would treat crypto assets similarly to securities in an effort to improve investor protections through enhanced disclosure requirements, according to Nikkei.
The FSA is conducting an internal review with experts to assess current regulations and plans to propose any changes by June.
If implemented, these regulatory changes could help make spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) more viable in the country. In August, the head of the FSA stressed the importance of taking a “careful approach” when considering the approval of crypto ETFs.
