Japan's FSA to weigh DeFi and stablecoin rules, including on-chain BOJ reserves

  • —FSA to review rules for DEXs, DeFi and wallet providers
  • —BOJ to outline a plan for on-chain current accounts by end-2026
  • —Stablecoins and tokenized deposits may be used for public payouts
  • —Second forum meeting and roadmap are due in early 2027
Why it matters: Japan could set the tone for DeFi and stablecoin rules in Asia, while on-chain central bank reserves may accelerate institutional tokenization.
