BlockBeats News, December 9th, according to Yahoo News, the Japan Financial Services Agency revised its Q&A to clearly state that providing domestic CFDs (Contract for Difference) and other derivatives based on overseas cryptocurrency ETFs is "not ideal" due to Japan not yet approving cryptocurrency ETFs and the inadequate investor protection environment.The Financial Services Agency pointed out that such products are essentially linked to the spot price of cryptocurrencies, falling under the category of cryptocurrency derivatives, with insufficient risk disclosure and institutional framework. As a result, IG Securities has announced the suspension of CFD trading based on U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs (such as IBIT). Regulatory direction indicates that it will be difficult for Japan to open up in the short term to overseas ETF-linked cryptocurrency derivatives.
