The Japan STO Association
Founded on October 1, 2019, the Japan STO Association members are namely SBI Securities, Daiwa Securities, Monex Securities, Nomura Securities, Kabu.com Securities, and Rakuten Securities. The SMBC Nikko Securities and Mizuho Securities joined on January 20, and Tokai Tokyo Securities has become the third new securities company to join the association.
Truly, policy on the sale of cryptocurrencies remains rationally underdeveloped in Japan. Until May 2019, the legislation wasn’t adapted to include crypto tokens within its context. Both Japan’s Act on Settlement of Funds and it’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA) were modified to be inclusive of tokens.
The Japan STO Association articulates STO self-regulation and seeks to obtain certification under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The Chairman of SBI SECURITIES & CEO Yoshitaka Kitao will be the Representative Director.
To review guidelines and requirements for STO, the association has introduced a functioning group within the association’s secretariat and has compiled guidelines on STO. This is scheduled to have complied with the vision of the end of February 2020.
