Japan FSA asks crypto exchanges to impose withdrawal delays to fight scams

Latest NewsPublishedAug 7, 2026

Protecting Your Earning: Japan’s Fight Against Crypto Scams

As the world of crypto and earning online continues to grow, so do the risks of scams and fraud. In Japan, authorities are taking steps to protect users of crypto exchanges, including those earning passive income through Cloud Rewards or investing in Green Crypto. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) has asked crypto exchanges to introduce withdrawal delays and other safeguards to curb misuse of exchange accounts and fight scams involving digital assets like #Bitcoin.

New Measures to Prevent Scams

The FSA has requested that crypto exchanges restrict crypto withdrawals for a specified period after customers deposit fiat currency or purchase digital assets. This move aims to prevent scammers from quickly transferring funds obtained through fraudulent schemes to exchange accounts. Exchanges are also being asked to require users to pre-register crypto withdrawal addresses and impose a waiting period before newly added addresses can be used, making it harder for scammers to use stolen funds.

Other proposed safeguards include customer-specific withdrawal limits, stronger transaction and access-environment monitoring, phishing-resistant multifactor authentication, and checks to ensure that the name of a bank remitter matches the crypto account holder’s name. These measures are not binding rules, but rather guidelines for exchanges to follow and implement based on their operations and exposure to misuse.
