Bitget Wallet Joins Japan's BCCC Amid Self-Custody Debate
Bitget Wallet has joined Japan's Blockchain Collaborative Consortium (BCCC), becoming the latest player to take part in discussions around self-custody regulations. The move comes as Japan continues to shape its framework for crypto services, with new rules for intermediaries taking effect in June.
As a non-custodial wallet, Bitget Wallet allows users to retain control of their private keys and assets. Its membership in the BCCC will allow the company to contribute its experience operating across international markets to the development of standards for self-custody services.
'Japan is one of the few markets where technology development and regulatory clarity are advancing in parallel,' said Bitget Wallet COO Alvin Kan. 'We want to bring practical experience from global markets into that conversation and help build frameworks that are useful for users and workable for the industry.'
