Japan FSA seeks record budget boost to step up crypto, AI oversight

Japan\'s Financial Services Agency is pushing to set its fiscal 2027 budget at about 40 billion yen, the largest on record, with a focus on strengthening supervision of crypto operators and sharply expanding AI-based market surveillance and cyber security response capabilities. The plan also includes preparation for quantum computing risks by supporting a shift to post-quantum cryptography. The budget request is not final and will be decided after review by the Ministry of Finance.
