Nomura's Crypto Arm Registers in Japan Amid Regulatory Clarity

Nomura's Laser Digital subsidiary has registered as a cryptocurrency business operator in Japan.

The registration comes after Japan's parliament passed a bill to overhaul cryptocurrency regulations and tax frameworks, signaling a more structured approach to digital assets in the country.

Laser Digital, established in 2022, focuses on digital asset trading, investment, and venture opportunities. With this registration, the company can now offer custody, trading, and other crypto-related services to institutional clients in Japan.
