Japanese Regulator Asks Apple & Google to Block 5 Crypto Exchanges
Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has asked Apple and Google to block five crypto exchange apps that are not registered in the country: Bybit, MEXC Global, LBank Exchange, KuCoin, and Bitget.
Apple has removed the apps from the Japanese App Store, while Google has not yet responded.
The ban only applies to new downloads; users who have already installed them can still access them.
Bitget responded with an apology and assured users that their funds are safe, while other exchanges have not commented.
Japan has strict crypto regulations and is continuing to increase scrutiny of unregistered services.
