Deep Tide TechFlow message: On July 27, according to Nikkei, Masaaki Kihara, chair of the LDP “Next-Gen AI · On-Chain Finance Concept Project Team,” said at a financial summit held in Tokyo on July 14 that Japan’s current leverage limit for cryptocurrency margin trading—capped at 2x—is “too strict.” He said healthy market development requires sufficient liquidity and effective price-discovery mechanisms, making it inevitable to loosen restrictions. The project team is pushing for adjustments to relevant regulatory policies, aiming to draw more cryptocurrency capital back into the Japanese market by improving market liquidity.
