Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has issued a warning to LBank Exchange, a major global crypto trading platform. The regulator claims LBank has been operating without proper registration, breaking Japanese laws. 
This crackdown follows similar actions against other exchanges like Bybit, MEXC, Bitget, and Bitforex last year. The FSA accused these platforms of illegal operations due to lack of registration and essentially blocked them from the Japanese market.&nbsp;&nbsp;
