# Regulation & Compliance Framework

#### JCBA Membership & Japan Regulatory Alignment

To strengthen its credibility and expand into regulated markets, Paladeum became a regular member of the Japan Cryptoasset Business Association (JCBA) in February 2024.\
JCBA is a self-regulatory body that provides guidelines, ethical standards, and internal control frameworks for cryptocurrency-related businesses operating in Japan.

This membership enhances Paladeum’s transparency, reliability, and institutional partnerships within the Japanese market.\
Under Japan’s Payment Services Act, crypto-asset service providers must comply with strict KYC/AML rules, segregated fund management, and mandatory third-party audits — all of which Paladeum fully implements.
