Will the Financial Services Agency introduce insider trading restrictions on virtual currencies? | 金融庁が仮想通貨のインサイダー取引規制導入か!?
金融庁は2026年を目途に、暗号資産(仮想通貨)を金融商品とする金融商品取引法の改正案を国会に提出する見込みらしくてまた、インサイダー取引についての規制も導入するそうなのですがこれは良いことだと思いますし昔はユーチューバーとかが視聴者に怪しい暗号通貨を買うように勧めて価格を上げて売却して儲けたりとこういった行為が結構あったので良いことだとは思いますが2026年はまだ先ですね...
The Financial Services Agency is expected to submit a bill to amend the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act to the Diet by 2026, which would treat crypto assets (virtual currencies) as financial products. It also plans to introduce regulations on insider trading, which I think is a good thing. In the past, YouTubers would encourage their viewers to buy suspicious cryptocurrencies, raise the price, and then sell them to make a profit, so I think this is a good thing, but 2026 is still a long way off...
