On November 11, 2026, Cryptopolitan reported that members of a study group at Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) warned that large stablecoin issuers facing concentrated redemptions might be forced to sell Japanese government bonds held as token reserves, and called for an assessment of whether current rules could address this scenario. The report also said the study group was concerned with the regulatory boundaries of token lending, as well as anti-money-laundering rules, asset custody, and incident response on public blockchains. The report did not say that concentrated redemptions or government bond sales had already occurred, nor did it mention any specific proposed rule changes; what has been disclosed so far is a risk warning raised by members and the issues under the group’s consideration.
