There are more than 100 organizations supposedly sitting tight for the Japanese Financial Services Agency to endorse their enrollments to work digital currency trades.

Nonetheless, as these unfit administrators as of now have clients, there are worries that conveying such notification could draw feedback that the FSA is acting oppressively and causing turmoil among clients.
