Japan Plans Tough New Rules for Crypto Exchanges: What Liability Reserves Actually Mean
Japan's Financial Services Agency is drafting rules that require all registered cryptocurrency exchanges to maintain dedicated liability reserves, mirroring securities‑industry standards, to compensate customers after hacks or unauthorized transfers. The reserves will be sized between ¥2 billion and ¥40 billion based on each exchange’s risk profile, and insurers may be permitted to cover part of the requirement. The move follows high‑profile thefts such as DMM Bitcoin’s loss of 4,503 BTC and is part of a broader overhaul that tightens custodial registration and reclassifies certain tokens. Details on calculation methods, insurance scope, and implementation timelines are still being finalized.
