日本金融厅 (FSA) 对 KuCoin、Bybit 和其他 3 家公司未经授权运营发出警告

东京破产交易所 Mt. Gox 三年后，日本金融厅 (FSA) 于 2017 年推出了日本第一套数字资产法规

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has reportedly sent warning letters to five offshore crypto exchanges it accuses of operating in the country without official authorization.

据报道，日本金融厅（FSA）已向五家离岸加密货币交易所发出警告信，指控其未经官方授权在该国运营。

The FSA introduced Japan's first set of digital asset regulations in 2017, three years after Mt. Gox, the Tokyo-based bankrupt exchange that once handled over 70% of all Bitcoin transactions globally, confirmed losing 850,000 Bitcoins to a hack. In 2020, the FSA introduced new regulations requiring crypto exchanges to obtain operational licenses from the agency.

FSA 于 2017 年推出了日本第一套数字资产法规，三年前，总部位于东京的破产交易所 Mt. Gox 曾处理全球超过 70% 的比特币交易，确认因黑客攻击损失了 85 万枚比特币。 2020 年，英国金融服务管理局 (FSA) 出台了新规定，要求加密货币交易所获得该机构的运营许可证。

According to a local report, the FSA announced on Friday that it had issued warning letters to KuCoin, bitcastle LLC, Bybit Fintech Limited, MEXC Global, and Bitget Limited for operating crypto exchange businesses without proper authorization, in violation of Japan's Payment Services Act.

据当地报道，日本金融厅周五宣布，已向 KuCoin、bitcastle LLC、Bybit Fintech Limited、MEXC Global 和 Bitget Limited 发出警告信，称其未经适当授权经营加密货币交易业务，违反了日本《支付服务法》。

The Act requires digital asset exchange service providers to keep records, comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) provisions, and take stringent measures to protect user funds.

该法案要求数字资产交易服务提供商保存记录，遵守反洗钱和反恐融资（AML/CFT）规定，并采取严格措施保护用户资金。

The FSA's move to warn the five crypto exchanges implied that customers trading on the unregistered platforms may not access compensation under Japanese laws or enjoy protection from authorities in the event of trouble or unforeseen circumstances that may lead to business insolvency.

日本金融厅向五家加密货币交易所发出警告的举动意味着，在未注册平台上进行交易的客户可能无法根据日本法律获得赔偿，也无法在出现可能导致企业破产的麻烦或不可预见情况时享受当局的保护。

Today's development marked the second time the FSA has warned Bybit, MEXC Global, and Bitget Limited against operating in the country illegally. In April last year, the regulator instructed the three exchanges and BitForex to cease operations in Japan since they were not authorized to operate there. Bybit also received a similar warning from the FSA in 2021.

今天的事态发展标志着 FSA 第二次警告 Bybit、MEXC Global 和 Bitget Limited 在该国非法经营。去年 4 月，监管机构指示这三个交易所和 BitForex 停止在日本的运营，因为它们无权在日本运营。 Bybit也在2021年收到了来自FSA的类似警告。
