According to CoinPost, on May 15, the Financial Services Agency of Japan held an online briefing for companies and related organizations on "Electronic Payment Methods and Cryptocurrency Asset Service Intermediation Business," introducing the new cryptocurrency asset intermediation system and registration process established under the revised Payment Services Act. The system is expected to be implemented in early June 2026.


It mainly targets entities entrusted by cryptocurrency exchanges or stablecoin trading operators, providing only "intermediary" services for buying, selling, and exchanging cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. At the same time, the system prohibits intermediary businesses from accepting custody of user assets, but the regulatory requirements are lower than those for exchange licenses, or it aims to encourage participation of gaming, e-commerce, and other companies in cryptocurrency asset services.
