According to CoinPost, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) held an online pre-registration briefing on May 15 for businesses and related organizations regarding the 'Electronic Payment Methods & Crypto Asset Service Brokerage' system. The briefing introduced the new crypto asset brokerage system and registration process established under the revised Payment Services Act, which is expected to take effect in early June 2026. This system primarily targets businesses entrusted by crypto asset exchanges or stablecoin trading operators, providing 'intermediary' services solely for the buying, selling, and exchanging of crypto assets and stablecoins. It also prohibits brokers from accepting user asset custody, but the regulatory requirements are lower compared to exchange licenses, potentially encouraging participation from gaming, e-commerce, and other companies to drive crypto asset service traffic. https://(wublock123.com)/news/japan-fsa-crypto-broker-registration-guidance-new-rules-june-61174
