2019 is said to be the year of the security tokens industry as it quickly extends reaching several countries approaching to receive the benefits of potential this industry upholds. The


latest country to take part of this innovation is Japan, where a bill to alter the ACT ON SETTLEMENT OF FUNDS AND FINANCIAL FUNDS and EXCHANGE ACT (FIEA) has passed both the upper and lower


houses of Japan’s National Diet which was enacted earlier this year on May 31, 2019. The bill amended FIEA or ACTS ON SETTLEMENT OF FUNDS (Act №59 of 2009, the Settlement Act) regulates


security tokens on the regulations on ICO (Initial Coin Offerings) by applying the protections guidelines under the FIEA when an ICO is an Investment program, the investors hope to get


dissemination of benefits from the issuer. This type of ICO is now and then alluded to as a STO (Security Token Offering), and the tokens or the rights spoke to on such tokens issued in a


STO are designated “security tokens. STOs will be liable to divulgence prerequisites and the issuers or representatives who manage STOs will be liable to enlistment necessities under the


revised FIEA.Such interests are regarded security under the FIEA. So as to direct a security offering of aggregate speculation plan interests, the backers are required to be enrolled as Type


II money related instruments business administrator (FIBO) under the FIEA. STOs will be liable to divulgence prerequisites and the issuers or representatives who wish to manage these will


be liable to enlistment necessities under the revised FIEA. The corrected FIEA unmistakably expresses that cryptocurrencies will be considered cash for this reason. Accordingly, security


token contributions, regardless of whether contributed in fiat or digital currencies, are liable to guidelines under the FIEA as aggregate speculation plan interests. The issuer is mainly


required to disclose material information on both itself and the item. This rule applies to STOs also, and issuers are required to follow revelation prerequisite. The meticulous things that


are yet to be unveiled are not yet specified. However, readiness of exposure records would probably be significantly additional tedious and expensive than regular protections, since the


guarantor needs to clarify the mechanics for the token issuance, settlement, and transfer. We will continue this special coverage for a part two soon, so stay tuned! FIAT EXCHANGE — as a
