According to Yahoo News, the Financial Services Agency of Japan has revised its Q&A to clarify that offering CFDs (Contracts for Difference) and other derivatives based on overseas crypto asset ETFs as underlying assets is not ideal domestically, as Japan has not yet approved crypto ETFs and the investor protection environment is insufficient.The Financial Services Agency pointed out that such products are essentially linked to the prices of spot crypto assets and fall under the category of crypto derivatives, with inadequate risk disclosure and institutional development. As a result, IG Securities has announced that it will stop offering CFD trading based on U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs (such as IBIT, etc.). The regulatory direction indicates that it will be difficult for overseas ETF-linked crypto derivatives to be relaxed in Japan in the short term.
