The Financial Services Agency of Japan Considers Allowing Banks to Hold Cryptos
A Potential Policy Change
In a move that could significantly transform the landscape of financial regulations in Japan, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) is considering revising its existing guidelines to allow banks to hold cryptocurrencies like the #bitcoin $BTC for investment purposes. This potential policy change is surprising, given that the current oversight guidelines, revised in 2020, effectively prohibit banks from holding digital assets due to concerns about their inherent volatility. The report, which surfaced on Sunday, indicates that the #FSA is preparing to discuss these reforms at an upcoming meeting of the Financial Services Council, an advisory body to the Prime Minister.
