Japan's financial regulator will slap administrative punishment notices on several cryptocurrency exchanges this week and plans to force some to suspend their business, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.
The Financial Services Agency may also order Coincheck — the exchange targeted by hackers in a $530 million theft of digital money — to raise its standards, the sources said.
