Intesa Sanpaolo dramatically cut its spot bitcoin ETF holdings by 93.7% while tripling its spot ether ETF holdings as of June 30. In parallel, Japan’s Financial Services Agency launched a new Crypto Assets and Stablecoin Department, effective August 7, to regulate crypto assets and stablecoins.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your access to Japanese crypto markets just tightened with the new FSA crypto unit; fintech founders must now navigate clearer compliance barriers while institutional demand for ether ETFs is shifting capital flows rapidly.
