| Market | Status | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | Local licence required | Any firm that deals with people in Japan has to be registered with the Financial Services Agency (FSA). The FSA names unregistered firms on public warning lists, and many offshore brokers are on them, so Coinish lists only FSA-registered companies for Japan. Retail FX needs at least 4% margin, so leverage tops out at 25:1. That rule has applied since August 2010. |
