Japan's Financial Services Agency announces policy to strengthen network security for cryptocurrency trading platforms
According to CoinPost, the Financial Services Agency of Japan has announced the network security enhancement and grouping policy for cryptocurrency trading platforms. This policy is based on 18 opinions publicly solicited from February to March 2026, with the primary goal of protecting investor assets. It proposes a three-tier security enhancement framework of "self-help (individual operators), mutual assistance (self regulatory agencies), and public assistance (regulatory authorities)". The authorities pointed out that current cyber attacks have evolved from simple signature key theft to highly organized methods such as social engineering attacks and supply chain intrusions, and traditional cold wallet management is no longer able to ensure security. Subsequently, the financial sector will implement threat driven penetration testing (TLPT) on some major players and plan to revise transaction guidelines to enhance network security personnel configuration and external audit standards.
