News about Japan bans exchanges to stop trading Monero, Zcash and Dash

[cortanababy]

It is reported that Japanese local exchanges was required to stop trading Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC) and Dash (DASH) from Japan regulators, US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The authorities frequently pressure the exchanges to give up XMR, ZEC, DASH, etc., in order to prevent money laundering and other criminal activities.

Cryptocurrencies like Monero, Zcash, Dash, their anonymity will be the best money laundering choice for offenders. Bitcoins that could easily be tracked on the public chain in the past now can be easily used to demand ransoms or sale illegal items through the appearance of anonymous tokens.

According to the Trustnodes report, hackers or criminal activities may mainly use the BTC-XMR-BTC conversion to confuse the relationship between address. In this case, the ban may not be very effective, so asking the exchange for AML/KYC may be more effective.

Currently, Monero, Zcash, and Dash can be traded legally in Japan, but they may be banned in the future, or the FSA may pressures the relevant exchanges for effectively stopping transaction.
