COLUMNS
Where the beginner guides cover mechanics that do not change, the columns cover what is current: Japanese law and tax changes on crypto assets, FSA warnings and withdrawal problems, stablecoins and other market developments. Everything is based on official announcements from the FSA, the National Tax Agency, issuers and operators. We do not publish market forecasts or trade recommendations.
