Japan planning to formally acknowledge crypto property as monetary merchandise – Nikkei report

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is planning to amend the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act to officially recognize crypto assets as financial products, according to the Nikkei business daily.

As part of this change, crypto assets would be subject to insider trading rules, banning trades based on non-public information.

The FSA is expected to present the bill to parliament as early as 2026.
