After Japan revised its Payment Services Act in 2016, several privacy coins face the risk of being forcibly delisted from exchanges due to their strong anonymity features conflicting with regulatory requirements. These include Monero, which uses stealth addresses and ring signatures; Zcash, employing zero-knowledge proofs; Dash, with its CoinJoin mixing mechanism; and Grin and BEAM, both based on Mimblewimble technology. The law mandates that virtual currency exchanges obtain licenses and enforce strict customer identification and security measures to prevent illegal activities, making it difficult for these privacy coins to comply. As a result, they may be restricted or removed from Japanese exchanges.
