日本的金融監管機構計劃將加密貨幣分類為金融產品

日本的金融監管機構正計劃更改該國的法律，以便早在2026年將加密貨幣歸類為金融產品

Japan’s financial regulator is considering classifying cryptocurrencies as financial products as early as 2026, the Nikkei reported on March 30.

Nikkei在3月30日報導說，日本的金融監管機構正在考慮將加密貨幣分類為金融產品。

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) plans to submit a bill to parliament as early as next year to revise the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

金融服務局（FSA）計劃在明年最早向議會提交一項法案，以修改《金融工具與交換法》。

The move comes amid a broader effort by the Japanese government to promote cryptocurrencies.

在日本政府促進加密貨幣方面的更廣泛努力之中，此舉是為了提出的。

The FSA has been discussing the possibility of classifying crypto as a financial product since last year, setting up internal study groups to consider the changes.

自去年以來，FSA一直在討論將加密貨幣分類為金融產品的可能性，建立了內部研究小組以考慮這些變化。

The report did not specify what cryptocurrencies would be covered by the regulations or how they would be enforced against companies operating outside of Japan.

該報告沒有指定法規將涵蓋哪些加密貨幣，或者如何對日本在日本運營的公司進行強制執行。

It also did not mention how the FSA planned to differentiate between major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) and smaller, more speculative tokens.

它還沒有提及FSA計劃如何區分比特幣（BTC）和Ether（Eth）等主要加密貨幣以及更小，更投機的代幣。

The move would see cryptocurrencies likely put under insider trading laws that currently apply to other financial products, such as stocks, which outlaws trades based on insider information. However, cryptocurrencies are likely to be put in a separate category from securities such as stocks and bonds.

此舉可能會使當前適用於其他金融產品（例如股票）的內幕交易法屬於內幕交易法，該法律是根據內部信息來禁止交易的。但是，加密貨幣可能與股票和債券等證券分開。

If the changes go through and crypto is regulated under the country’s finance laws, companies offering crypto would have to register with the FSA.

如果這些變更經過，並且根據該國的財務法受到監管，那麼提供加密貨幣的公司將不得不在FSA註冊。

The regulator’s plans to classify crypto as a financial product comes as early as 2026.

監管機構將加密貨幣分類為金融產品的計劃早在2026年就出現了。
