bitFlyer, a domestic cryptocurrency exchange operator, announced on October 2 that it will introduce a "cooldown" that partially restricts external transfers of crypto assets for 48 hours after a Japanese yen deposit. The measure, aimed at preventing fraud and illicit fund movements, takes effect on October 15. It applies to individual users who have completed identity verification less than 90 days earlier, who will be unable to send crypto assets equivalent to the amount of deposits made within 48 hours minus 100,000 yen to external addresses. If total deposits are 100,000 yen or less, no restriction applies; when multiple deposits are made, the rule applies to each deposit individually, and the restriction is lifted sequentially starting with each deposit once 48 hours have passed. During the cooldown, users can still deposit and withdraw Japanese yen, trade crypto assets, and hold and receive them. Across the industry, the National Police Agency and the Financial Services Agency jointly asked the Japan Crypto Asset Exchange Association on August 6 to strengthen measures to prevent fraud, and Coincheck also announced on September 10 that it would introduce a measure from September 15 restricting transfers to newly registered destination addresses for a certain period.
