Japan to Classify Crypto as Financial Products, Impose Insider Trading Restrictions: Report

Japan is preparing to formally recognize crypto assets as financial products under its Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, signaling a major shift in how the country approaches digital asset regulation. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) plans to submit a bill to parliament as early as 2026 to amend the legislation.

If passed, the change would bring cryptocurrencies under the same legal category as traditional securities, subjecting them to insider trading laws that prohibit the use of non-public information for personal gain. Until now, digital assets have largely operated in a parallel regulatory space, with limited oversight on trading practices that would be illegal in mainstream financial markets.

The FSA has been quietly working on these reforms in closed-door discussions with legal and financial experts, aiming to tighten controls while providing clearer rules for the fast-evolving crypto sector. This move reflects a broader global trend where regulators are stepping up efforts to integrate crypto assets into traditional financial oversight frameworks.

Additionally, the proposed legal update may also open doors to future products like crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Earlier this month, lawmakers suggested a new framework under the same Act that could enable ETFs and slash the tax on crypto profits from 55% to 20%.
