[Summary: Japan's FSA and National Police Agency Anti-Fraud Regulations]
Fraud losses in Japan hit a record high of roughly 72.2 billion yen in 2024, and the two agencies are tightening regulations fast.
Key moves:
Apr 2025: Government adopts "Comprehensive Measures 2.0" to protect citizens from fraud
Jun 2025: NPA signs an information-sharing agreement with 8 major banks to flag suspected fraud accounts
Sep 2025: Joint request to banks for stricter account-opening screening and multi-layered fraud detection
Aug 2026: New requests to crypto exchanges, including withdrawal lockups after deposits and pre-registration of withdrawal addresses
Financial institutions now face stronger requirements at every stage: account opening, monitoring, and freezing/police coordination.
My take: Japan's crypto is heading toward a restricted, unfree ecosystem.
