Japan's FSA Unveils Three-Layer Crypto Security Framework

Japan's Financial Services Agency just rolled out a new cybersecurity policy for crypto exchanges and related firms. The goal? Investor asset protection.

The framework is built around three layers: "self-help" (individual operators), "mutual assistance" (self-regulatory organizations), and "public assistance" (regulators). The policy highlights that threats go beyond stolen signature keys—social engineering attacks and breaches of external contractors are also on the rise. It calls for stronger response capabilities across the board.

Regulators have also signaled plans to include crypto scenarios in "Delta Wall," a cross-industry cybersecurity drill, to sharpen the sector's overall response.
