Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has declared that, commencing January 22, 2026, it will progressively impose limitations on the accounts of Japanese residents. These limitations will encompass partial functional constraints as well as trading restrictions, ultimately leading to a complete halt in service provision to residents of Japan. This strategic decision is motivated by the necessity to comply with the stipulations set forth by Japanese regulatory bodies. Further details regarding corrective actions will be furnished subsequently. It is noteworthy that Bybit had previously been the recipient of numerous cautions from the Japanese Financial Services Agency, which cited the exchange's engagement in crypto asset trading activities within Japan without the requisite registration.
