Japan’s FSA introduces new framework that divides crypto into two categories

Japan’s FSA has released a discussion paper on crypto regulations that seeks to categorize digital assets into two distinct categories. According to a recent report by Coinpost, the country’s Financial Services Agency has asked for public feedback regarding a discussion paper titled “Verification of the state of the system related to crypto assets.” The financial watchdog will be collecting opinions on the new cryptocurrency framework introduced through the discussion paper until May 10, 2025. The paper presents a dual-approach to regulating crypto, by dividing crypto assets into two different categories based on how funds are distributed. The first category is called Type 1, which encompasses crypto assets used for business purposes or to generate funding for the parent project. These include altcoins from emerging projects that still need community funding to keep growing. While the other category, Type 2, includes crypto assets that are more decentralized or more established by nature. Type 2 cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ), which do not issue tokens to raise funds for business purposes. These tokens are called “non-fundraising or non-business crypto.” Depending on which category the virtual assets fall, they are subject to a different set of crypto regulations, adjusted to suit each type’s characteristics. Japan’s FSA stated that with Type 1 crypto assets, regulators feel a strong need to push for more transparency from projects to disclose information to prospective traders about what the funds would be used for.

They will be expected to comply to regulations from the Japanese FSA, which include occasional disclosure obligations. The regulations for Type 1 crypto would come into effect once the project has garnered a large number of general investors. The FSA stated that it will also be considering whether certain Type 1 projects fall under security token regulations. On the other hand, the FSA will not be dealing directly with issuers of Type 1 crypto projects. This is because the financial agency believes it is difficult to identify a specific issuer and impose obligations on them. Thus, they will enforce regulations regarding Type 2 cryptocurrencies on exchange platforms. Under this framework, crypto exchange firms would be required to provide the FSA information on Type 2 crypto’s significant price fluctuations that impact the market. “There is a possibility that correspondence will mainly be done through exchange companies,” stated the FSA in the policy outline. According to CoinPost, the committee plans to take into account regulatory trends in other countries and public feedback before finalizing the crypto regulatory framework. As previously reported by crypto.news, the FSA declared that it would be revising the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The agency aims to submit the changes to parliament as early as 2026. Under the revision, cryptocurrencies will no longer be seen as payment tools, but rather as its own financial product category.
