Japan is looking into introducing more stringent cryptocurrency regulation. The local financial regulator, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) and the Ministry of Finance are working on establishing a totally new regulatory framework.
So far the Ministry of finance is hiring more operatives while the regulator FSA is focusing on the future of cryptocurrency regulations. The FSA also founded a new division as part of the agency that will be focusing on various cryptocurrency-related affairs, though for the moment there are no available details.
According to recent reports, however, Japanese officials are worried about how privately held funds are influencing financial systems and regulators want to know what the consequences of using stablecoins are.

Well, this is quite expected especially in Japan where it is part of their culture to always follow the laws and regulations. Maybe all we want is that there should be comprehensive and coherence in implementing the available regulatory policies of the country towards cryptocurrency. The industry has been growing well in Japan and legit operators should welcome and work with the government on the matter so that it can lead to a better and stronger market in the next few years. Regulations can be liken to tax...its is no good to avoid them.
