Financial Services Agency (FSA) the regulatory watchdog of Japan has issued a warning against Binance crypto exchange. The warning is for operating without the mandatory operating license required under new guidelines. The regulatory head had issued a similar warning against the Bybit exchange last week.
Japan is seen as one of the most progressive crypto nations where crypto exchanges can operate with a regulatory clearance from the FSA.
FSA has issued a similar warning back in 2018 as well. Binance is one of the largest crypto exchanges with customers from around the globe. However, over the past few years, it has been at the receiving end of regulators, starting from 2018 when Malta declared Binance is not registered in the country. Before the announcement, Binance has maintained it operated out of the small crypto heaven nation but later said that being a decentralized firm it has no centralized headquarters as its employees belong to various parts of the world.
While Binance is facing regulatory hurdles in Japan its American rival Coinbase received FSA clearance to enter the Japanese crypto market just a couple of days ago.
