The Financial System Council\u2019s Crypto\u2011Asset System Working Group also emphasized that exchange operators should continuously strive to enhance cybersecurity standards, reinforcing the need for industry\u2011wide efforts to raise resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Key takeaways:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crypto assets are increasingly treated as investment products, while global cyberattacks causing asset outflows have occurred repeatedly since Bitcoin\u2019s inception.

Some cyberattacks on crypto exchanges are suspected to involve state actors seeking foreign currency acquisition.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JFSA published this policy to strengthen cybersecurity through self help, mutual help, and public help measures.
