Japan Plans to Upgrade Its Crypto Regulation Unit in 2026

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is preparing to strengthen its oversight of crypto assets by upgrading its internal regulatory unit in 2026.

📌 Key details:

The FSA plans to elevate the department in charge of crypto assets (virtual currencies) to a division-level unit

The change is expected to begin in the next fiscal year starting July 2026

The current Office of Advisor for Crypto Assets and Blockchain Innovation will be restructured and promoted into a formal division

This move signals Japan’s intention to build a more structured and long-term regulatory framework for the crypto industry as the market continues to mature.
