Reuters cites sources according to which sixteen Japanese cryptocurrency exchanges will fix plans as early as next week to create a self-regulating body.
The exchanges aim to safeguard investors after a USD 530 million digital money heist last month.
According to the sources, the Japanese want a new regulation body for crypto registered with its Financial Services Association.
Initially, players wanted to merge the Japan Cryptocurrency Business Association and Japan Blockchain Association.
