Japan’s FSA proposes two-category classification for digital assets in new crypto regulation framework

The FSA announced that Type 1 includes utility tokens used for project financing, while Type 2 comprises established cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum that do not function as fundraising tools.

The FSA aims to revise the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act by 2026, transitioning cryptocurrencies from mere payment tools to a distinct class of financial products.
