The Financial Service Agency / FSA proposed lowering the leverage rate limit of cryptocurrency margin from 4x to 2x. However, stricter Payment Service act and Financial Instrument and Exchange act will begin to be enforced by April.



Owing to regulations issues, Binance has announced that Binance.com will restrict access to Japanese residents.
