Japan Could Pressure Exchanges to Drop Monero & Dash: Reports
A Japanese regulatory working group focussing on cryptocurrencies has suggested exchanges should not be “allowed” to trade certain altcoins including Dash and Monero.
FSA Suggests Altcoin Squeeze
As Forbes citing a meeting of the group, which consists of industry experts organized by Japan’s regulator the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the anonymity options such altcoins present could be grounds to banish them from the country’s burgeoning exchange sector.
“It should be seriously discussed as to whether any registered cryptocurrency exchange should be allowed to use such currencies,” an unnamed member said April 10.
Japan is pressing ahead with cryptocurrency exchange licensing after a cleanout of prospective applicants following Coincheck’s $530 million hack in January.
Some exchanges closed due to not being able to comply with requirements, while others were sanctioned due to insufficient security policies.
While major corporations are nonetheless to enter the market, regulators now appear to be taking a more conservative stance on what that market should ultimately offer consumers.
Coincheck, which has faced strict FSA supervision since the hack, will no longer offer XMR trading, local news outlets reported last month.
Self-Regulation On The Horizon
While Japan once made headlines for being the world’s number one exchange venue by trade volume, most volume now passes through Malta, Bitcoinist reports, while the UK has the largest number of legally registered exchanges.
Meanwhile, those players who remain bullish about Japan’s future as a crypto trading hub continue to make strides in the regulatory sphere.
Last week, it was that a combined effort to create a self-regulatory body had finally got off the ground in the form of the Japanese Cryptocurrency Exchange Association (JCEA).
According to chairman Taizen Okuyama, who is also president and CEO of forex firm Money Partners, the cross-industry body will offer assistance to exchanges which have so far been unable to comply with the FSA.
“I would like to create a situation where I can give advice to [unlicensed exchanges] – the development of the industry as a whole is important,” he told local news outlet Asahi Shimbun April 24.

“Today, July 10, 2017, the Royal Kingdom Enterprise presents the opportunity to participate in this development through its ICO.”
To develop products and services that aggregate value to society in a sustainable way, the Royal Kingdom Enterprise decided to seek funding through crowdfunding, developing its own token (Royal Kingdom coin-RKC), a ERC20 at the top of the blockchain of the Ethereum platform. The issuance of the RKC token aims at the voluntary participation of network users to promote projects proposed by the company.
In this way we invite everyone to know our projects and align themselves with the same goal through the involvement of the ICO of the Royal Kingdom coin. The total quantity of RKC will be in the limited number of 15 million (15 million) in total (including those available for sale during ICO 2,700,000). Your issuance will be unique and it will not be possible to generate new RKC tokens, because they will be configured on the smart contract.
In the medium and long term, the Royal Kingdom coin will show itself as a reflection of the organization’s positive performance, obtaining its own market value, being regarded as a consumable virtual product. The initial value of each token will be $0.10, and this price will increase proportionately according to the volume of its acquisition by the market.
The RKC token can be acquired from the Venture Kingdom platform, you must register and enter balance in bitcoin or ether to be prepared for the opening of the ICO. Contributing to the ICO of Royal Kingdom coin, through the acquisition of RKC, grants benefits to the coin carriers. Among them we would like to highlight that the Royal Kingdom Enterprise from February 2018 will share with the participants the monthly earnings acquired.
Monthly will be allocated 50% of the company’s profits to purchase the RKC token on the market, and these will be distributed proportionately to the carriers of the RKC according to the amount of coins they possess in their wallets RKC.
ICO participants invest in the success of the Royal Kingdom enterprise projects and can help to disclose the sale of RKC tokens to increase awareness in the general community, enabling the anticipated liquidity of RKC tokens through our reward campaign.
The ICO is a transformative step for the development of the projects of the Royal Kingdom Enterprise, as it makes it possible through the community’s participation to construct ideas and share the results.
To understand the project in full we offer the whitepaper, on the official page of the ICO of the Royal Kingdom coin.
