Japanese financial regulation refers to the legal framework governing financial activities in Japan. This encompasses the comprehensive set of laws, rules, and guidelines enforced by authorities such as the Financial Services Agency that oversee banking, securities, insurance, and digital asset markets within Japan. Key legislation includes the Payment Services Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, which specifically address cryptocurrencies and certain security tokens. The regulatory approach prioritizes investor protection, market stability, and the prevention of illicit activities while attempting to foster innovation.
