Japan has given formal approval for its cryptocurrency industry to regulate itself, the Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Association (JVCEA) confirmed\u00a0October 24.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

JVCEA Can Police Exchanges<\/h2>\n

In a significant development for the country, regulators opted to allow the JVCEA to ensure cryptocurrency exchanges followed legal requirements.<\/p>\n

Under the deal, the body will also have the power to punish those operators, which do not conform to the stringent safety regulations Japanese authorities have put in place this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very fast-moving industry. It\u2019s better for experts to make rules in a timely manner than bureaucrats do,\u201d Reuters further quotes an unnamed official from Japan\u2019s Financial Services Agency (FSA) as saying.<\/p>\n

\"Coincheck<\/p>\n

In its statement, the JVCEA explained it had received a certification as an accredited settlements entity from the FSA, confirming its self-regulatory powers would go into effect today.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026We have enforced self-regulation rules on the same date and officially launched all work including self-regulatory work at the following offices,\u201d a rough translation reads.<\/p>\n

With the acquisition of accreditation, we will continue to make further efforts to create an industry that you trust for everyone who uses virtual currency with members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trusting To Verify<\/h2>\n

The move concludes a testing time for both the domestic industry and the JVCEA itself. The organization had faced uncertainty following two high-profile resignations<\/a> earlier this year, with both its vice-presidents leaving to focus on their exchanges \u00a0\u2013 BitFlyer and Bitbank \u2013 which faced regulatory compliance demands.<\/p>\n

Despite high-profile hacks on fellow exchanges Coincheck and Zaif, however, Japan\u2019s newly-regulated exchange ecosystem is drawing interest from multiple global giants.<\/p>\n

As Bitcoinist<\/em> reported<\/a>, companies such as Yahoo and Coinbase, along with Japanese names SBI Group and LINE Corp., are just some of the businesses which are either planning to enter the sector or have already done so.<\/p>\n
