Japan's two cryptocurrency industry groups are planning to merge to form a self-regulating body, seeking to better safeguard investors after last month's $530 million heist of digital money, sources involved in the negotiations said.

The Japan Blockchain Association and the Japan Cryptocurrency Business Association are expected to merge as early as April, the sources said.
