Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has issued warnings to five offshore cryptocurrency exchanges: Bybit Fintech Limited, KuCoin, MEXC Global, Bitget Limited, and Bitcastle LLC. These crypto exchanges are accused of operating in Japan without legal registration, which violates the country’s cryptocurrency legislation. 
Operating without registration raises serious concerns about how these sites are overseen. Japan’s legislative framework for cryptocurrencies requires regulated exchanges to follow strict compliance standards aimed at protecting customers. 
Furthermore, the FSA underlined that unregistered exchanges lack regulatory oversight, making it difficult to run operations properly. The lack of asset segregation is a key concern, as platforms may mix client monies with operating assets. 
Users of unregistered platforms are likewise denied legal protection under Japanese law. Customers are left without recourse for compensation in disputes or unexpected occurrences, such as insolvency or security breaches. Their failure to comply with regulations exposes them to potential losses. 
Under Japanese law, any company that provides cryptocurrency trading services must register with the Japan FSA or a municipal financial bureau. This need ensures that the platforms operate under a strong regulatory framework. Registered exchanges must put in place strict asset management protections and ensure that their activities are transparent. 
The warnings issued by the Japan FSA encourage consumers to check the compliance status of cryptocurrency services. Japan takes strict measures to ensure consumer protection and market integrity.
