โ The Japanese Senate approved amendments to the Payment Services Act, introducing a new class of participants - crypto intermediaries.
๐ These are companies that will be able to work with digital assets without a full exchange or custodian license, but within the framework of a regulated model.
Entry into force - June 2026.
โ๏ธ This approach reduces regulatory barriers for small and medium businesses - especially in Web3, gaming and fintech.
This is a transition from strict control to a flexible crypto market architecture.
๐ฏ๐ต Japan once again confirms the status of one of the main technological regulators in Asia.
Now not only licenses, but also statuses with risk gradation are becoming a tool for the development of the industry.
The new format opens the door to the influx of projects and capital. This is not just a reform, it is an architectural modernization of the country's crypto infrastructure.
