CFDs rules in Japan

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.
