In Japan, the Kanto Local Finance Bureau, which monitors the FTX and other crypto exchanges in the country, said in a statement that the company would not allow the company to accept new assets from customers. Regardless of this, Japan's finance minister Shunichi Suzuki told reporters that the government had to do "all sorts of things" to protect the interests of FTX's Japanese customers.
