Japan to Ban Insider Trading in Crypto Markets Under New Regulations
Japan's financial watchdog is tightening its grip on cryptocurrency markets with forthcoming regulations targeting insider trading. The Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission (SESC) will gain investigative authority over suspicious crypto transactions, signaling a maturation of oversight in one of Asia's most active digital asset hubs.
The MOVE aligns with global efforts to curb market manipulation as institutional adoption grows. While no specific coins or exchanges are named in the report, the regulatory shift could impact trading strategies across major platforms operating in Japan.
