Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) updated its risk-warning page for unregistered financial service providers, adding a link to Consumer Affairs Agency policies aimed at preventing fraudulent business practices, according to CoinPost, as cited by TechFlow on November 10, 2026.
The warning highlights potential risks for investors using unregistered cryptocurrency trading platforms, including refused withdrawals, high withdrawal fees and operators becoming unreachable. The update did not change existing regulatory requirements.
The FSA had previously updated its warning list of unregistered cryptocurrency trading platforms. Those named included Izakaya Limited, the operator of IZAKA-YA, which was added in September, as well as platforms previously warned about, including KuCoin and Bybit.
Separately, Japan’s Consumer Affairs Agency plans to use artificial intelligence to analyze consumer complaints, strengthening its ability to identify risks and issue warnings about businesses suspected of fraud.
