🇯🇵 Japan has approved the status of "crypto intermediaries" — a reform for brokers
✅ The Japanese Senate has approved amendments to the Payment Services Act, introducing a new class of participants — crypto intermediaries.
📄 These are companies that will be able to work with digital assets without a full exchange or custodian license, but within a regulated framework.
The law will come into effect in June 2026.
⚙️ This approach reduces regulatory barriers for small and medium-sized businesses — especially in Web3, gaming, and fintech.
It is a shift from strict control to a flexible architecture of the crypto market.
🇯🇵 Japan reaffirms its status as one of the main technological regulators in Asia.
Now, not only licenses but also statuses with risk gradation are becoming tools for industry development.
The new format opens doors for the influx of projects and capital. This is not just a reform — it is an architectural modernization of the country's crypto infrastructure.
