The Japanese House of Representatives has passed new crypto regulation in the upper house of the National Diet.
According to the report the lower house has moved crypto-related amendments to the existing financial law to the house of Councilors at a recent plenary session.
The move is an amendment to two of Japan’s financial laws: the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and Payment Service Act which is intended to strengthen local regulations on cryptocurrency trading process.
The new law includes a change in the terminology used to address virtual currencies to crypto assets as well as limiting leverage in cryptocurrency margin trading at two to four times the initial deposit.
