Japan is pioneering comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation by extending securities-style insider trading prohibitions to digital assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The Financial Services Agency will empower the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission to investigate and penalize illicit crypto trades, with the framework expected to be finalized this year and submitted to parliament by 2026. This landmark shift creates what policy experts call ‘competitive convergence,’ potentially compelling other major economies like the U.S. and EU to establish clearer crypto frameworks and align on global market integrity standards.
