Under the plan, tokens used for fundraising or issued by businesses\u2014often lesser-known altcoins\u2014would face stricter rules around transparency, investor protection, and disclosure. Projects would need to outline how funds are used and disclose potential risks. If they reach a significant investor base, they may fall under security token laws.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, widely held decentralized tokens such as Bitcoin and Ethereum would not be regulated at the asset level. Instead, crypto exchanges would bear responsibility for market monitoring, including reporting sharp price movements.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/experts-question-trumps-tariff-move-temporary-relief-or-deeper-uncertainty\/\" title=\"Experts Question Trump\u2019s Tariff Move: Temporary Relief or Deeper Uncertainty?\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/trump-2-e1682283615732-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Experts Question Trump\u2019s Tariff Move: Temporary Relief or Deeper Uncertainty?<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the paper avoids the thorny issue of taxation, it lays the groundwork for more formal recognition of crypto within Japan\u2019s financial system.
