🚹 Japan FSA pushing crypto exchanges to fast-track IC chip reading after document image leaks

Regulatory pressure intensifying on Japanese CEXs. FSA wants stricter KYC protocols NOW—not later.

If you're trading on JP exchanges, expect:
‱ Tighter verification flows
‱ Possible service disruptions during rollout
‱ More friction for new users

Bullish for compliance-first platforms. Bearish for user experience short-term.

Japan still one of the most regulated crypto markets globally. This won't stop institutional flows, but retail onboarding just got harder.
