Market Chatter: Japan to Toughen Penalties for High-Frequency Trading Abuse

MT Newswires Live

Aug 14, 2025

Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is preparing to hike fines for firms engaging in manipulative high-frequency trading, targeting ultra-fast transactions executed in microseconds, Nikkei Asia reported on Thursday, citing the regulator.

An FSA advisory council will launch discussions by year-end, aiming to revise the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act by 2026, said the publication.

While high-frequency trading can enhance market liquidity, regulators globally are cracking down on abusive practices like "quote stuffing" - flooding markets with fake orders to distort prices, said the news daily.

Japan currently imposes surcharges based on illicit profits from such violations, added the report.
