Japan's Financial Services Agency and National Police Agency issued 11 new anti-fraud rules requiring all virtual currency exchanges to implement stricter identity verification, withdrawal restrictions, transaction monitoring, and police collaboration to counter sophisticated cryptocurrency frauds.
