Binance had also announced they will restrict Japanese residents from their platform.
This is considered they will follow the guideline by J-FSA(Japan Financial Service Agency) that every exchange must register under Japanese regulatory for business in Japan.
Binance was warned by J-FSA at 2018 for providing service to Japanese residents without licensed as a registered exchange.
They will now follow the regulations in Japan and will prepare a Japan based crypto trade service collaborating with the group of Yahoo Japan.
