Japan’s FSA mulls registration regime for crypto-system providers after ¥48bn hack
Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is considering new regulations that would require system providers servicing crypto exchanges and wallets to register and meet security standards. The reforms follow a ¥48.2 billion hack at the exchange DMM Bitcoin and aim to improve accountability in the outsourcing of key platform infrastructure. 

A bill is expected in the 2026 parliamentary session to amend the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act accordingly.
