Asian regulators are cracking down on cryptocurrency trading as concerns grow over the risks posed to investors. Japan's Financial Services Agency ordered cryptocurrency exchanges Bitstation and FSHO to suspend operations for at least a month when it found that a Bitstation executive had been using customers funds for personal transactions and that FSHO had failed to protect customer funds and details.
