JAPAN PASSES CRYPTO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS LAW — PAKISTAN FATWA DECLARES CRYPTO HARAM
A tale of two regulatory worlds: Japan's parliament just passed amendments to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, bringing cryptocurrency regulation under investment legislation and recognizing crypto-assets as financial instruments for the first time.
The main provisions will come into force within a year of publication, marking a major step toward mainstream crypto adoption in one of the world's largest economies.
Meanwhile, in Pakistan, religious scholars have ruled that cryptocurrency purchases are impermissible under Sharia law. The fatwa contradicts Pakistan's plans to introduce cryptocurrencies — the country's authorities passed a digital assets law earlier this year. The conflicting moves highlight the divergent regulatory paths emerging across Asia.
