Japan slackens crypto rules on listing of tokens

Japan’s crypto regulator has planned to ease the rules which surround the listing of coins and tokens. This move will make the listing of virtual coins a lot easier.

At the moment, crypto exchanges that want to list their tokens and coins have to get them screened by the Japan Virtual and Crypto Asset Exchange Association (JVCEA).

Additionally, just about 50 assets are currently allowed to be traded in Japan according to the current regulatory rules.

The new regulations would help attract foreign exchanges into Japan, as the screening process was simplified.
