Japan’s FSA urges Apple and Google to remove unregistered crypto exchange apps, including Bybit, MEXC Global, LBank, KuCoin, and Bitget. Regulatory actions have happened before. It’s a warning to focus on following the rules. Exchanges without proper registration are at risk, which could impact the market. Do you have an account here?

Update: Kucoin and Bybit already geo-blocking new JP registrations. Withdrawal patterns showing significant uptick lately. Smart money's moving.
