Japan’s securities regulator is reportedly set to introduce regulations to ban and punish crypto insider trading, bringing it more in line with how the country handles stock trading.

Japan’s Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission would be authorized to investigate suspicious trading activity and hit violators with fines based on how much they profited from insider trading, Nikkei Asia reported on Tuesday. 

The securities regulator would also make criminal referrals in more serious cases.

There are no insider trading rules under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act that cover crypto, and the self-regulated Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association lacks a monitoring system to spot suspicious trading, prompting the need for stronger regulatory oversight in the crypto markets.

The move toward sensible crypto regulation follows a fourfold increase in the number of local crypto users to 7.88 million over the last five years — about 6.3% of Japan’s population.

Japan expected to bring in pro-tech prime minister

Sanae Takaichi, who is likely to become Japan’s next prime minister, has been tipped to bring fresh political momentum to risk assets, including crypto, while maintaining Japan’s rigorous regulatory standards. 

Her leadership would introduce a more open stance toward tech experimentation, having expressed support for “technological sovereignty” and further development of digital infrastructure, such as blockchain tech.

Takaichi is also in favor of lower interest rates, tax cuts, and a looser monetary policy, potentially encouraging more capital inflows into Japan’s crypto industry.

FSA wants crypto to be regulated under the FIEA Act

At the start of September, the FSA sought to place crypto regulation under the FIEA Act, shifting it from the Payments Services Act to strengthen investor protection and align crypto with securities laws.

The FSA stated that the move could address common investment issues in the crypto market, including inaccurate disclosures, unregistered operations, scams and security concerns related to crypto exchanges.

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields. When the Fed pushed rates to near zero during the pandemic, 10-year Treasury yields fell to an all-time low of 0.5%. As…

Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation.

It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation. He cited…
