Japan Warns Five Crypto Exchanges, Including KuCoin and Bybit, Over Registration and Asset Risks
Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has issued formal warnings to five cryptocurrency exchanges, including KuCoin, Bybit, MEXC Global, Bitget Limited, and bitcastle LLC, for operating without proper registration. The FSA highlighted that these unregistered platforms violate local laws and pose risks to user asset protection due to the lack of regulatory oversight and asset segregation. This enforcement action is part of Japan's broader efforts to ensure compliance, enforce AML regulations, and safeguard users within the cryptocurrency market.
