Japan's FSA Issues Warning to ZOOMEX for Unregistered Derivatives Trading

The Kanto Local Finance Bureau of Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) issued a warning on September 25, 2026, to Zoomex.com, the operator of the crypto exchange ZOOMEX. The regulator stated that the company was soliciting Japanese residents for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trading without the mandatory registration required under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The FSA has previously issued similar warnings to other overseas exchanges, including KuCoin, Bitget, MEXC, and LBank, as well as to Izakaya Limited for operating an unregistered crypto exchange service.
