On June 30, 2026, the Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Dealers Association (JVCEA) announced the results of its public consultation on proposed amendments to rules governing the sale of new crypto-assets. The JVCEA published draft amendments to its "Rules on the Sale of New Crypto-Assets" and related guidelines from May 29, 2026 to June 17, 2026, inviting public comment. The consultation period closed on June 17, 2026. The JVCEA received no comments from the general public during the consultation window. However, the association received feedback from member institutions, which it has shared separately with all affected members alongside the JVCEA's responses to their submissions. The proposed amendments establish new regulatory standards for how member exchanges handle the introduction and sale of newly listed crypto-assets. This development reflects the JVCEA's ongoing efforts to maintain consistent standards across its membership and ensure appropriate market conduct in the crypto-asset trading sector in Japan. The JVCEA did not indicate a specific date for finalising or implementing the amended rules. Member institutions should monitor the JVCEA's official communications for announcements regarding the adoption and effective date of the final amended rules.
