Weekly regulatory digest from Japan FSA covering multiple areas: NISA guidelines amendments, insurance reinsurance supervision updates, securities compliance orders, AML/financial crime initiatives, and general supervisory updates.
No description available.
Japan’s Financial Services Agency (JFSA) has finalized a partial amendment to the *designation of countries and regions* under Articles 17-2 and 17-3 of the Order for Enforcement of the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds (APTCP), expanding the list of foreign jurisdictions that are subject to Japan’s crypto/e-money **travel rule** framework. The change matters because Japanese cryptoasset and electronic payment instrument service providers must now apply full originator/beneficiary information transmission when dealing with additional foreign VASPs in newly designated jurisdictions, and must adjust their AML/financial crime controls and routing logic accordingly by 3 August 2026.
Non-compliance with the expanded travel rule obligations for designated jurisdictions from 3 August 2026 exposes Japanese VASPs and related institutions to administrative sanctions, supervisory actions, and potential business restrictions under the APTCP and related AML/CTF frameworks. Given the focus on cross-border virtual asset transfers, failures may also create heightened ML/TF risk exposure and reputational damage, including scrutiny from foreign regulators aligned with FATF standards.
