Japan seeks to prohibit all possible crypto crimes
The existing laws in Japan are much better than other countries’ rules but still, recently lawmakers propose revised regulatory policies, to prohibit all possible crypto-related illegal activities. The revised laws will come into effect by mid of next year.
The introduction of new rules may increase the additional work for the crypto users and crypto service providers because reporting of digital assets activities will require more detailed information to submit.
