  Japanese bitcoin exchanges are subject to strict regulations imposed by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan. These regulations aim to ensure the security of customer funds and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Exchanges are required to obtain a license from the FSA and meet certain criteria, such as having robust security measures in place and conducting customer identity verification. Additionally, exchanges must regularly report their operations to the FSA and undergo audits to ensure compliance with the regulations.

  The regulations also address the protection of customer assets. Exchanges are required to segregate customer funds from their own operational funds and hold them in separate accounts. This helps to safeguard customer funds in the event of an exchange's insolvency. Furthermore, exchanges must implement measures to prevent unauthorized access to customer accounts and promptly report any security breaches to the FSA and affected customers.
