As of 2025, Japan has developed one of the most comprehensive and proactive regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrency. Currently, Japan is actively working on classifying crypto assets as financial instruments, bringing them under stricter financial regulations by 2026. Crypto Regulations in Japan June 25, 2025 – 55th Financial System Council (FSC) Meeting The key discussion was to reclassify certain digital assets under FIEA, especially those with investment-like features.

The Democratic Party’s Web3 Project Team has put forward a proposal for crypto classification under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act ( FIEA ).

The country has several new proposals in hand that are waiting for review and will likely take effect from 2026.

TL;DR BONK breaks descending trendline and retests support, holding gains above $0.000034 with rising volume. Price targets $0.00004676–$0.00005876 next as bullish momentum and market interest continue to grow. BONK Breaks Resistance, Extends Rally Bonk (BONK) rose to $0.000039 at press time, its highest level in several months. The price is up 24% in the past 24 hours and over 75% since this time last week. Daily trading volume has crossed $3 billion, reflecting renewed market activity. Interestingly, the price move followed a clean breakout above a long-term descending trendline and horizontal resistance near $0.00003. The breakout structure remains intact after a successful retest of support, with price now pressing toward the next area of supply around $0.000037. Technical Setup Points to $0.00004676–$0.00005876 Range Crypto analyst Professor Moriarty noted the chart shift earlier in the week. “After several attempts, it finally broke through resistance and held above it,” he posted. $BONK is up 49% since my last post After several attempts, it finally broke through resistance and held above it Now it’s facing the next key zone. If it keeps the bullish momentum and breaks it with confidence, the road to new highs will be wide open https://t.co/P12lJS8aqJ pic.twitter.com/KxoqBZxVe5 — Professor Moriarty (@Moriarty_web3) July 16, 2025 BONK is now approaching a price zone that previously capped upside in late 2024. While clearing this region in volume, the subsequent targets to monitor are at $0.00004676 and $0.00005876. These levels converge with previous swing highs and may act as short-term objectives should the current trend persist. Broader Market Tailwinds Support Move BONK’s breakout comes as broader crypto sentiment improves. Open interest is rising across major exchanges, and risk appetite has returned to the meme coin sector. Notably, the token was recently added to Grayscale’s institutional tracking list, which some market watchers see as a step toward broader legitimacy. For now, BONK trades just below a key resistance band. A near break above 0.000037 would be a sign of continuation. A failure to clear this area may deliver a short-term consolidation or test of support at around the $0.000029 level.

On Wednesday, Moynihan said that the bank is working to launch a stablecoin; however, the timeline is unclear. “We feel both the industry and ourselves will have responses. We’ve done a lot of work,” Moynihan told Reuters . He added that investors can expect the lender to move forward with it soon. The second-largest U.S. bank initially touted its dollar-pegged stablecoin launch in February, stressing how regulatory developments could shape its adoption. “It’s pretty clear there’s going to be a stablecoin,” Moynihan confirmed at the time, provided legal frameworks allowed it. BofA Aims to Rollout Stablecoin When Client Demand is High Additionally, CEO Moynihan noted that BofA is trying to understand customer demand in the space, which isn’t high currently. “[The bank] would roll out a stablecoin at an appropriate time, likely in partnership with other players,” he added. Further, the progress has been slower than anticipated by some investors, as banks are still awaiting legal clarity.

She said that the bank is looking into stablecoin use cases and how clients would benefit from it. “But, it really is a little early to tell, especially for the businesses we run versus businesses that you might see from competitors, on how a stablecoin would play in,” she added.
