⚖️ Japan eyes higher crypto leverage limits, calls 2x cap too restrictive

A senior Japanese ruling party lawmaker has called for easing the country's cryptocurrency leverage trading rules, saying the current 2x cap hurts market liquidity and price discovery.

Seiji Kihara, who heads the Liberal Democratic Party's crypto policy efforts, made the remarks citing a Nikkei report. Japan's 2x leverage limit is among the strictest globally — most major jurisdictions allow significantly higher limits for crypto derivatives.

No specific new cap has been proposed yet, but the development signals a potential regulatory shift in one of Asia's largest crypto markets.
