The Japan Crypto Sixteen
Following their initial approval of eleven cryptocurrency exchanges on September 29, 2017, another five were officially licensed before the year-end by the Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA), requiring an update to our original article from early October.
On December 1, the FSA granted approval to the following exchanges, with only Xtheta, processed through the regional financial bureau in Osaka, allowed to trade more than BTC:
Bit Arg Exchange Tokyo
株式会社ビットアルゴ取引所東京
BTC
FTT Corporation
エフ・ティ・ティ株式会社
BTC
Tokyo Bitcoin Exchange
株式会社DMM Bitcoin

Xtheta Corporation (Osaka)
株式会社Xtheta

On December 26, one more approval followed.
BITOCEAN
株式会社BITOCEAN

At the time of the September approval, it was noted that 17 applications were still being processed. So this implies that 12 further exchanges are in the pipeline, including Coincheck, Japan’s second largest.
