日本的金融监管机构计划将加密货币分类为金融产品

日本的金融监管机构正计划更改该国的法律，以便早在2026年将加密货币归类为金融产品

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日报道说，日本的金融监管机构正在考虑将加密货币分类为金融产品。

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.

金融服务局（FSA）计划在明年最早向议会提交一项法案，以修改《金融工具与交换法》。

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

在日本政府促进加密货币方面的更广泛努力之中，此举是为了提出的。

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.

自去年以来，FSA一直在讨论将加密货币分类为金融产品的可能性，建立了内部研究小组以考虑这些变化。

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.

该报告没有指定法规将涵盖哪些加密货币，或者如何对日本在日本运营的公司进行强制执行。

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.

它还没有提及FSA计划如何区分比特币（BTC）和Ether（Eth）等主要加密货币以及更小，更投机的代币。

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.

此举可能会使当前适用于其他金融产品（例如股票）的内幕交易法属于内幕交易法，该法律是根据内部信息来禁止交易的。但是，加密货币可能与股票和债券等证券分开。

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.

如果这些变更经过，并且根据该国的财务法受到监管，那么提供加密货币的公司将不得不在FSA注册。
