  In Japan, cryptocurrencies are regulated under the Payment Services Act (PSA) and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA). The PSA requires cryptocurrency exchanges to register with the Financial Services Agency (FSA) and comply with certain security and anti-money laundering measures. The FIEA regulates initial coin offerings (ICOs) and requires companies to provide investors with accurate and complete information. Overall, Japan has taken a proactive approach to regulating cryptocurrencies, aiming to protect investors and promote innovation in the industry.

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) is responsible for overseeing the cryptocurrency market and has implemented measures such as mandatory registration for cryptocurrency exchanges and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. Additionally, Japan has established a self-regulatory organization called the Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Association (JVCEA) to further enhance industry standards and promote transparency. These regulations aim to create a secure and trustworthy environment for cryptocurrency users in Japan.
